Harsco

A variety of access, formwork and shoring systems from Harsco Infrastructure (formerly SGB) were used to construct a new £205 million state-of-the-art Energy from Waste plant in Ardley, North Oxfordshire.

Harsco designed and supplied the formwork required for the creation of 24m deep reinforced waste bunker which will accommodate up to 5,000 tonnes of waste. The bunker is being constructed using a combination of Harsco’s LOGIK®60 wall formwork panel system, MULTIFORM climbing brackets to create access platforms, and lightweight GASS® aluminium shoring. The GASS® system is being used to provide safe working access for the creation of the numerous intermediate concrete floor slabs that will be included inside the waste bunker.

Other products and services supplied include EXTRAGUARD™ edge protection system, to ensure maximum site safety, plus DU-AL™ and Mk II Soldier aluminium beams to create a variety of structures for wall and soffit support. These were complemented by Harsco’s CUPLOK® which was used to create temporary staircases up to 24m in height.

“As on previous projects where we have worked with Harsco, their expertise and great range of products and systems have come together to create an excellent solution to our needs. We have a sole supplier agreement with Harsco for formwork and falsework requirements and have recently been working with them on other waste-related projects in Lincoln, Shropshire and Stafford,” says John Holmes, Senior Works Manager, Clugston Construction Ltd.

When complete in 2014 the plant will be able to process 300,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste per year – sufficient to divert at least 95% of Oxfordshire’s residual municipal waste away from landfill disposal. It will also be able to generate up to 24 MW of electricity – enough to power some 38,000 homes.
