By GlobalDataThe development will take place on a 6ha site, previously home to McKechnie Brass.
To lay the groundwork for the new facilities, Morgan Sindall has reengineered the site’s soils using lime and cement stabilisation techniques and managed significant surface water challenges.
The Middlemore Lane Household Waste Recycling Centre is designed to handle up to 40,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of waste, featuring 19 bays with two skips each.
The Waste Transfer Station meanwhile, will have the capacity to process up to 125,000tpa of municipal waste and recyclables annually, with additional capacity planned to accommodate future increases in waste volumes.
The project also includes the construction of weighbridges, service yards, ventilation systems, and office and welfare facilities for staff.
Another addition to the site will be a reuse shop with a workshop area, aimed at maximising community benefit and functionality.
Scheduled for completion within 64 weeks, Morgan Sindall is tasked with overseeing all technical design and construction aspects of the project.
