CLIENT
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council
TIME FRAME
June 2021 – February 2022
PROJECT BRIEF
The project focused on the redevelopment of an existing Waste Transfer and Recycling Centre to enhance functionality, safety and sustainability. Key tasks included the removal of abandoned pipework and dilapidated building foundations, as well as the repurposing of the existing depot into a designated parking area. Upgrades to the private laneway were carried out to ensure a durable and sufficient surface.
Significant structural modifications were implemented, such as the construction of retaining walls using modular block and reinforced concrete, alongside associated earthworks to achieve the required site levels.
The development also involved the installation of a Waste Transfer Station (WTS) storage portal frame building, featuring internal storage bays and the construction of a modular prefabricated office building.
PROJECT KEY POINTS
- Site Preparation & Modifications: Removal of existing infrastructure, including abandoned pipework and outdated foundations. Depot repurposed into a structured parking area.
- Structural Enhancements: Installation of modular block and reinforced concrete retaining walls to support new site levels.
- Drainage & Water Management: Implementation of foul and surface water drainage systems, surface water attenuation, flow control devices and an oil interceptor.
- Site Enhancements: Installation of lighting columns, barriers, bollards, road markings, security fencing, and gates for both the Household Recycling Centre (HRC) and the WTS entrance.
- Safety & Security: Provision of fire detection and alarm systems, intruder alarm systems and general power and lighting.

PROJECT OUTCOME
The redevelopment significantly improved the site’s efficiency, security and environmental sustainability. The newly constructed facilities provide enhanced waste management capabilities while ensuring safe and structured traffic flow. Upgraded utility connections and drainage systems contribute to the site’s long-term resilience and sustainability. With the addition of security features, fire safety systems and well-planned landscaping, the project has delivered a modern, compliant and functional waste management facility that meets the highest industry standards.
