Phase I - Site development of a 12.5-acre site and construction of a 38,000 s.f. material recovery facility including 2-story offices. The MRF contains an automated size segregation system, four conveyorized manual sorting lines, and automated discharge for recyclables.
Phase II - Addition of a 14,000 s.f. building to the existing transfer station. Modifications were made to the transfer building to allow for the installation of overhead conveyors which transport solid waste to and from the MRF.
Phase III - Relocation of the existing fuel and lube island.
Facility throughput: Facility permitted for 2,500 tons per day. MRF sorting capacity designed to handle 1,000 tons per day.
Special considerations:
-
Enlargement of tipping floor while remaining operational.
-
Extension of infeed and residue conveyor across 40 ft. of open space and into existing transfer building.
-
Automatic handling and baling system for recyclables.
-
Concrete foundations and pits for equipment.
-
Second-story educational center and viewing room.
Work performed: Complete architectural, engineering design and construction documents including participation in process equipment design with coordination of building design with equipment installation. Preparation of scaled model depicting process equipment design.
