Singapore’s Tuas incineration plant decommissioned following explosion that left 2 dead in 2021
TuasOne waste-to-energy plant will replace the now decommissioned Tuas Incineration Plant on Tuas Avenue. The decommissioned plant ceased operations following an explosion at the plant in 2021, which killed two workers. The 2021 fire follows another at a separate Tuas plant that injured three workers. Waste management company Veolia was fined $135,000 in 2013 for a blast and fire that injured three workers. Veolia Environmental Services Singapore pleaded guilty in a district court to contravening the Workplace Safety and Health Act by failing to thoroughly test a waste liquid before mixing it with a chemical liquid. It caused an explosion at its Tuas incineration plant on Nov 8, 2013, and the resulting fire spread to an area the size of about two football fields.
