Upgrade of an existing 340 ton-per-day solid waste transfer station to a modern 750 ton- per-day processing facility. Upgrades were performed while the existing facility continued to process solid waste.
- Project design features included :
- Tipping floor expansion to over 9,000 sf.
- New high-capacity baling equipment.
- New 14,000 cubic foot bale storage area.
- Two new 80-foot long truck scales with modular scale and control house.
- Radiation detection equipment.
- Bird/Seagull mitigation system.
- Dust & odor suppression equipment.
- Helical pile foundations for soft soils.
A new storm water drain system was installed for the entire site with an in ground 1500-gallon oil/ water separator.
The electrical systems were upgraded to meet the additional power demands of the new baler equipment as well as improved site lighting to enable “round the clock” operation. The Transfer Building is fully sprinkled with a 30- foot clear height to the underside of the roof framing. Two new 28’x 28’ overhead doors onto the tipping floor and a new 2 bay loading dock.
