We played an important role in the construction of a new £2.75 million recycling centre in Norwich – built to encourage the local population to be more sustainable and provide modern facilities to meet ongoing growth.
The recycling centre is part of a multi-million-pound programme of investment to improve recycling centres across the county and is now the largest in Norfolk. However, before this vision was made a reality, there were challenges to overcome.
After starting the project, further inspection of the ground conditions proved that they were worse than the initial reports had suggested. This was due to the project starting at the end of a wet winter, resulting in a delayed earthworks programme, and the planned in-situ stabilisation becoming impractical.
The project team called us in to help, and with our aid, these challenges were overcome.
Given that it was a recycling centre being built, we knew sustainability was a priority and proceeded to look for a solution that would minimise wastage, deliveries to the site, and the overall carbon footprint of the project.
