PROJECT PROFILES: WASTE TRANSFER STATIONS

Hove, East Sussex

The site of an existing waste transfer station was to be remodelled with the construction of a new, more efficient, waste transfer station together with new commercial premises.

Ashdown Site Investigation was commissioned to carry out a geotechnical and environmental investigation of the site and to provide an environmental assessment report on its contamination status, together with engineering advice for the design of foundations.

Medway City Estate, Rochester, Kent

The first phase of this project comprised the construction of a new waste transfer station and offices on previously reclaimed mudflats on the banks of the Medway Estuary. A second phase will involve further reclamation of the adjacent mud flats.

An intrusive ground investigation was made including the excavation of boreholes and trial pits, gas monitoring, and undertaking extensive in situ plate bearing tests. The investigation was designed to provide engineering advice for the design of ground floors and road pavements, together with an earthworks specifications and construction advice for the reclamation of the area of mud flats.

Watford, Hertfordshire

A simple portal framed structure was proposed for the waste transfer station to be constructed on land adjacent to a railway line at Watford, Hertfordshire.

Ashdown staff carried out a ground investigation by means of trial pits and dynamic probing in order to provide foundation design parameters for the new building. Advice was also provided on environmental protection issues relating to pre-existing conditions on the site.
