A design and construct contract involving the reconstruction of an existing waste transfer station and civic amenity site.
The works included the demolition of a house and the construction of a new refuse transfer building of some 2880m2. This consisted of a steel portal frame with integrated concrete column and stone column foundations and a composite slab with micro-silica concrete - constructed over and encapsulating contaminated ground, to avoid the need for removal of 4500m3. The project also included a weigh-bridge/office extension and associated hard-standing, parking areas and drainage.
The works were carried out whilst access was maintained to enable the general public to continue using the existing facility.
