1 : Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Training Centre Contractor follows nine-step plan to achieve best practice in Key facts Lend Lease has corporate targets to reduce construction waste, aiming to achieve <5.5m 3 per 100k project spend and for >94% of all waste generated to be diverted from landfill. Lend Lease implemented a nine-step (waste reduction) plan that was rolled out across both the design and construction stages of the SFR Training Centre project. Figure 1 Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Training Centre, front entrance Lend Lease, the international property and infrastructure group, is the principal contractor appointed to Strathclyde Fire & Rescue s (SFR) new Training Centre in South Lanarkshire. By applying a nine-step site waste management plan (nine-step plan) to all projects, Lend Lease is working towards achieving its ambitious corporate waste reduction and recovery targets as a signatory to the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) Halving Waste to Landfill Commitment. These targets were exceeded at the SFR Training Centre, demonstrating the benefits of a strong corporate approach to construction waste management. Project background The SFR Training Centre, in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire (Figure 1), consists of state-of-the-art bespoke facilities designed to address the specific training needs of SFR while also being available for sharing with external stakeholders. The project includes three main zones (Figure 2): In total, less than 4% of waste generated was sent to landfill. Controlled site logistics avoided an estimated 1,522 vehicle movements between the SFR Training Centre and the waste transfer station (WTS) with an associated carbon dioxide reduction of 563kg over a one-year period. 1
2 and continuous improvement, are in place. Key aspects of the approach include: Key performance indicators (KPIs), which are set for all Lend Lease projects and are communicated to all staff and subcontractors via tender agreements, inductions and monthly performance tracking. Project performance is measured against Lend Lease s waste reduction and recovery KPI targets. Figure 2 Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Training Centre, site plan (40 acres) The Academic Building providing the administration and technical training for Fire & Rescue personnel who attend the learning and development campus. Located at the front of the campus and extending over two floors, the Academic Building incorporates lecture rooms, a bespoke incident training suite, a career development assessment centre, a 180-seat auditorium, conference rooms, IT rooms, a library and a gymnasium. Practical training facilities consisting of numerous buildings and structures fitted with liquefied petroleum gas fire simulators, set within a community environment to provide a realistic training environment. Features include: a residential area, consisting of a residential village; an industrial area, to simulate hazardous material incidents; and a transport area, to simulate transport-related emergencies. Practical facilities building the hub of the practical zone and main garage area, designed as a mock fire station. The nine-step waste reduction plan Lend Lease has developed a robust corporate approach to (Table 1). The approach ensures that targets and procedures, which encourage innovation The nine-step plan covers the entire construction process, from client engagement through to a completion review. A standardised, web-based site waste management plan database called MINIMISE, developed in conjunction with BRE SmartWaste, is used on all projects. MINIMISE is used to record and monitor data on waste as well as other key environmental metrics such as energy, water and timber. Innovation and continuous improvement are actively encouraged, including trialling new approaches to site waste management and waste data collection. The nine-step plan relates to the key intervention points in the construction process when action should be taken to prevent, reduce or recover construction waste. Each step includes a set of clearly worded tasks, which are supported by a combination of standard forms, checklists and guidance documents. The plan is owned and driven by the project team, with support and troubleshooting advice available from the Lend Lease Environmental Operations Unit. The nine steps allow Lend Lease to apply a standard approach, but in a way that responds to each project s circumstances. For example, the nine steps provide the flexibility to look at each project s design opportunities for waste prevention and to select the waste contractor that can best respond to the waste streams generated by the project. Design stage waste consideration Early consideration of waste by the design team ensured that waste was avoided where 2

Measures included: Specification of Benchmark s Karrier Panel System (ceramic granite). This walling system is installed separately from the facade, thereby wind- and weatherproofing the building at an earlier stage, enabling internal works to begin before the completion of the façade, reducing time on site and wastage resulting from on site storage of materials. Prefabrication modules for electrical cabling. Brick work was designed to match brick coursing sizes to reduce off-cuts. Standardised metal window shutter sizes to reduce off-cuts. Waste forecasting Lend Lease adopted MINIMISE, the SmartWaste waste management tool, throughout the design stage and run-up to works commencing on site. Lend Lease was able to effectively forecast potential waste generation and in doing so identify opportunities to reduce waste before works had begun. Figure 3 shows an excerpt from the SFR s waste minimisation strategy. Table 2 demonstrates the on site waste savings achieved compared with the predicted waste arisings (2,298 tonnes) through the implementation of the nine steps. Waste management options and waste contractor procurement As part of its focus on continual improvement, Lend Lease has developed a central list of preferred waste contractors that can meet the company s ambitious targets. 3

All inert waste was sorted and sent for re-use off site at a local farm under a waste management licence exemption to create an equestrian facility (Figure 4). Almost one-quarter (22%) of waste produced on site was baled and compacted, placed in bulk skips and sent directly to reprocessors for recycling. This method provides clean/sorted material which facilities the recycling process while at the same time improving the efficiency of skip loads offering a reduction in skip void space. The sorted materials included wood, metal, plasterboard and hard plastic waste. Most of these will be reprocessed to create new products (specific uses are detailed in Table 3). 5

Waste plasterboard was returned to manufacturers. This approach enabled Lend Lease to ensure that plasterboard waste was removed from the mixed-waste stream and provided reprocessors with quality materials and maximised recovery rates, an initiative very much in tune with government advice. Various re-usable building materials (1.5%), including pipes, plastic fencing, insulation, gypsum, pallets, bricks, timber, drainage channels and breeze blocks, were taken off site for re-use by Yooz Active4All, a charity constructing the first custom-built state-of-the-art sports and activity centre for both disabled and able-bodied individuals. The waste which could not be sent directly to re-use or recycling options (9.5%) was sent to a waste transfer station. Much of this waste was recovered through conventional transfer station processes, resulting in less than 4% of the construction waste overall for the period being sent to landfill. The project implemented a strict segregation policy which reduced the number of vehicle movements that would have been required if a greater amount of mixed waste had been produced for transportation to a waste transfer station. Based on an estimate of the number of journeys that would have been required if all mixed-waste skips had been taken directly to a waste transfer station, the project calculated that 1,522 vehicle journeys had been saved at SFR over the course of the project. The carbon savings were calculated based on the distance to the nearest WTS, which is 4.5km (Table 4). By reducing the number of vehicle journeys associated with waste removal, Lend Lease reduced the associated carbon impact of the project with fewer transport miles; reduced the associated cost of frequent waste removal; achieved a recycling rate far higher than typical practice; and alleviated traffic congestion both at and around the site. Waste reporting and targets All of the waste contractors on Lend Lease s preferred supplier list provided Lend Lease with material types and tonnages collected; destinations of materials for reprocessing; approximate carbon savings from reduction in vehicle movements (calculated using a Defra-approved formula); volume and tonnage of re-use on and off site; and BREEAM input data. 6

Lessons learned Works on the SFR Training Centre demonstrated the value of effective waste management to projects and the importance of ensuring the cooperation of the whole of the supply chain in both minimising waste arisings and ensuring the maximum diversion of resources from landfill. Procurement and commercial managers are crucial in ensuring that the correct quantities of materials are procured in a way that does not create unnecessary waste. It is important for them to understand which materials are likely to generate the most waste, as this provides a focus for improving procurement and on site activities. Lend Lease recognises the importance of working with the right waste management contractor for a given project. Lend Lease strives to understand at the outset of the project the waste management requirements of its subcontractors to maximise the diversion from landfill opportunities at its facilities. Lend Lease now offers targeted training to those trades that typically generate the most waste (e.g. dry-lining) to ensure that more waste is prevented than diverted.
