Rubb meets waste transfer facility challenge
October 1st 2006

Gateshead Council in the North East of England required a waste transfer facility where local waste collection vehicles could deposit daily household waste collections for storage until they were loaded onto larger vehicles and sent to a land fill site or reclamation unit. The building was expected to handle around 250t of waste each day and was to be constructed within a sixteen-week programme.

Rubb Buildings met the challenge by providing a BVE type building with a 30m span x 30m height and 6m sidewalls. At one gable end the PVC cladding was removed and replaced with an anti-litter netting system, which allows an increase in airflow through the building.

The site and building are owned by Gateshead Council, but will be operated by SITA who run a similar facility near Scunthorpe.
