Brief
Suffolk County Council and West Suffolk District Council wished to combine some of their current services into one hub site.
Our brief was to provide a new hub to amalgamate their waste site, provision for their future waste collection needs and a purpose-built household waste recycling centre. This would include buildings for a new waste transfer station, bailer building and a re-use centre along with offices. The other part of the site would be used for the Councils’ parks and ground services. These include landscape stores, offices and a vehicle maintenance workshop to service their current fleet of vehicles. Associated external works and landscaping would also be required in this area.

Scope
For this design and build bid we were commissioned to deliver Architectural, Landscape, Mechanical, Electrical and Carbon services to RIBA stage 3.
Architectural and Landscape services were then appointed by the main contractor to RIBA stage 7 to complete the project. The purpose of the project was to centralise some of the existing waste services onto one joint site to create a hub where services can function together, whilst maintaining the safety of the public visiting the household waste recycling centre. New roads, hardstanding, parking and landscaping were also provided and designed to facilitate the safe flow of traffic in and around the site.
