Morgan Sindall Scoops £32m Contract
Walsall Council has awarded Morgan Sindall Construction a £32 milliion contract to build a new Household Waste Recycling Centre and Waste Transfer Station at Middlemore Lane.
The project is a part of Walsall Council's strategy to modernise and enhance waste management services within the area. The new facilities will play a crucial role in meeting local and national waste management objectives by reducing landfill waste and increasing recycling rates.
The state-of-the-art Household Waste Recycling Centre and Waste Transfer Station will be built on a six-hectare site formerly occupied by McKechnie Brass Ltd.
Before starting building works, Morgan Sindall will undertake the re-engineering of soils using lime and cement stabilisation techniques, as well as managing significant lying surface water on the site.
In line with Morgan Sindall's commitment to sustainable construction, 354 tonnes of carbon have been saved through the '10 Tonne Carbon Challenge', which involves working with consultants and the supply chain to find intelligent solutions to reduce carbon from the buildings Morgan Sindall delivers by a minimum of 10 tonnes.
The new Middlemore Lane Household Waste Recycling Centre will feature a maximum throughput capacity of 40,000 Tonnes Per Annum (TPA) across 19 bays, each housing two skips, while the Waste Transfer Station will accommodate up to 125,000 TPA of collected municipalwaste and recyclate, with spare throughput capacity to future-proof against the potential growth in waste arisings.
In addition to the construction of the Household Waste Recycling Centre and Waste Transfer Station, the project will include the provision of weighbridges, service yards, ventilation systems, and office and welfare facilities for operational and management staff. A reuse shop with workshop area will also be incorporated into the site, further enhancing its functionality and community benefit.
Major Works Framework, is scheduled to be completed within 64 weeks, with Morgan Sindall overseeing all aspects of the technical design and construction to ensure the successful delivery of the facilities.
