Midlands-based temporary buildings company TransformaSpace has
just installed additional storage space for national company
Veolia. The new bespoke recycling facility has transformed their
operations, saving Veolia both time and money.
Companies nationwide can save thousands simply by protecting
products from the elements. When waste management providers Veolia
identified the weather as a key threat to growth, they commissioned
TransformaSpace to find a solution.
Veolia needed an outdoor storage space that could be operational
within days, to protect their products immediately.
TransformaSpace's experience with and reputation for creating
fast-erected temporary storage facilities made them a natural
choice for the task.
TransformaSpace Director, Tom Alldread, comments: "Veolia came
to us for an outdoor covered storage facility for their East
Midlands site. Their mixed paper and cardboard was being affected
by the varying weather conditions we see in the UK."
The Veolia material recovery facility processes seven different
waste products from domestic and industrial sites around the
region. A free site visit was conducted and a variety of options
proposed, resulting in the choice of a canopy with a ClearSpan
roofing system.
John Kirk, Site Supervisor at Veolia sees the extra stoage as
essential to running his operation successfully: "The high quality
canopy keeps our products dry and has freed up extra storage
capacity for us on site.
"Before we had the canopy, our paper and cardboard bales would
get wet and loose materials would blow all over the site.
Now, we have dry products and our site is kept tidier- it
saves us time and money".
Kirk also speaks highly of the TransformaSpace team; "The
service I have received from TransformaSpace has been second to
none. The friendly and professional team provided us a solution
that was put up in one day."
Currently, in the UK, we generate over 80 million tonnes of
waste from households, commerce and industry each year and this is
set to increase going forward. The Government commitment to a zero
waste economy will only increase demand for recycling.
Organisations will find that their waste management facilities
are put under increasing pressure moving forward and need to plan
for this now. Installing a temporary structure is an ideal way to
increase capacity instantly.
As Alldread explains, "Our structures are fast becoming the
number one choice to expand recycling facilities and storage
space.
"Temporary structures are ideal for businesses on leased sites:
They are quick to put up, fully relocatable and can be tailored to
the company".
