Consolidation centres
Materials Storage
Consider moving materials and waste by sustainable transport
Sustainable design eg recycled content, local materials, minimised design
Water saving measures
7
Heading Centres
Consolidation
•
A distribution facility through which material deliveries can be channelled to
construction sites.
•
Materials can be carefully handled and stored where there are no
opportunities to do so on sites.
•
By using a central location, contractors would be able to bring and store
materials for re-use at a later stage and pick up other material/plant during
the same journey, improving the overall resource efficiency of a construction
project.

Heading
Materials
Storage
Contractors should consider suitable locations where to store materials and/or
equipment
Locate away from sensitive receptors (eg residents) to avoid disruption while
accessing the stores during sensitive hours
A dedicated storage area would eliminate or reduce the need to bring materials by
road each shift

Transport by rail, barge, river

Water
Saving Measures
•
Identified by contractor for a new project:
– Use of Siltbuster to process concrete washout to a suitable standard for
re-using wastewater for cleaning purposes or dust suppression on site
– Agreement with concrete suppliers to washout at their facilities
– Rain water harvesting to allow for re-use of water for dust suppression
and/or cleaning of welfare units, by allowing space for catchment area
when designing welfare facilities
– Use of concrete cloths as an alternative to traditional concreting in-situ
for stabilising of ground. Alternative material brings a low environmental
impact in terms of less water required, no wastage, no nuisance
generated by having to break it down when no longer needed.
