The project consisted of over 4,000m2 of twinwall, lattice floor capping slabs and precast beam elements. A full design of the wall panels was carried out in house, accounting for impact forces from the waste sorting excavator buckets, along with various point reactions from gantries and mechanical sorting equipment.

 

Key design features included:

  • Walls of up to 7m in height

  • Cast in protective steel impact plates

  • 450mm thick capping slabs

  • 350mm thick twinwall

  • All installed within the structure, under very restricted lifting conditions

Oran Pre-Cast provided the structural frames for 2 new buildings on the site. These were a single storey frame for a new 200 seat cafeteria and a 4 storey frame for a new office building.


Key facts:

  • 4 storey continuous columns

  • Bespoke beam members

  • GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Slag) Cement

  • Gold LEED standard project

Our expertise, both in design and manufacture, allowed us to propose and deliver a number of bespoke precast beam profiles for the structure. These provided a direct interface to the architectural fixings, minimising the required on-site concrete works.
