Dawnus has commenced works on a £1.75m project to build a new split-level Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC) in Truro. The new facility at Tregurra Park is due to open in Spring 2019 and will become the 14th Council-owned HWRC in Cornwall, three of which have been completed by Dawnus. The scheme involves the construction of reinforced concrete retaining walls and bays, external hard standings, a fuel storage tank and parking areas. Work will also include a tie-in to the access road, foul and surface water drainage, utility connections, external lighting, and landscaping works. Waste from Cornwall’s existing recycling centres will be recycled and used in the construction of the new HWRC. Our client Suez manages the Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre in St Dennis; waste from local recycling centres is taken to this facility and burnt. The Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate (IBAA) is then graded to create a compliant fill material, which will be used to raise the site levels at Tregurra Park.

Almondsbury Helicopter Facility for GWAAC and NPAS (3.4m) (Site Manager) This project consists of the design and construction of a new Helicopter station for the air ambulance and police. 1.5km of access road and FATO.The site is set in 46ha of land adjacent to the M5, with 20,000m3 earthworks in order to form the access road from the adjoining A38. Relocation of over head 33kva power cables, so liaison with statutory regulators has been critical. Stats to the facility from the A38 to the Helicopter Hanger, liaison with EA for ditch crossings and LLFA approval of works. We will have to manage the chaining over from the old facility to the new as the works progress so the client relationship and reporting is essential to the project.
