International engineering group, Costain has almost completed its £397 million project to design and construct a network of recycling and waste management facilities across Greater Manchester, UK.
According to the company, since April 2009 when its contract with Viridor Laing (Greater Manchester) Ltd started, it has completed 37 of 42 facilities, including the country's first thermophyllic Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) - Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plant facility.
The design and build contract covers 42 facilities spread across 27 sites. These include 24 Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs), five MBTs, four In-Vessel Composting (IVC) plants, one Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), seven Transfer
The company says that the recent completion of the Adswood Road HWRC in Stockport means that the network of 'super recycling sites' is now in place.
The company further claims that the satisfaction level of residents visiting the HWRCs across Greater Manchester is at an all-time high of 99.7%, and that the recycling and composting rate being achieved at these sites has increased from 21% in 2004/05 to 50% in 2010/11.
With the exception of Bolton IVC - the construction of which has only just begun - the company says that it hopes to have finished commissioning the remaining plants by Christmas, but optimisation may extend this.
By the time the construction team finally moves off-site, it will have been just under three years since the programme to significantly improve Greater Manchester's performance in recycling and composting, diverting waste from landfill and producing solid recovered fuel to create energy got underway.
Costain's work under the contract has just 5.5 million man-hour mark, and according to the company the Accident Frequency Rate (AFR) for the entire contract is just 0.15 accidents per 100,000 man-hours.
The company adds that this rate has been improving as the project nears its conclusion, with the AFR dropping to 0.05 for the last 12-month period and no lost time accidents at all so far in 2011.
Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority's 'Recycling and Waste Management Contract' with Viridor Laing (Greater Manchester) Limited is the largest ever public waste procurement Europe.
