Depot Improvement Project

The London Borough of Bromley ("the Council") is inviting tenders from potential providers with the relevant experience and technical ability to deliver infrastructure works within its two waste management depots located in central Bromley (Waldo Road depot) and Beckenham (Churchfields).

The Council is seeking to undertake infrastructure works within its two waste management depots located in central Bromley (Waldo Road depot) and Beckenham (Churchfields). The works are largely civils led and a single main contractor is sought to manage, co-ordinate and deliver all of the works.

The key aspects of works to be undertaken are:

• Replacement of 8500m² concrete slabs within covered and uncovered waste transfer station areas, including external yard areas;
• Repair and refurbishments to drainage systems, including management of fire water run off;
• Installation of fire detection and suppression systems to waste transfer stations (including tanks, pumps and sprinklers along with interlocking concrete block walls for segregation of waste piles);
• Comprehensive refurbishment of dilapidated waste transfer station shed structures (one covered (2600m²), one uncovered (1500m²) - neither are enclosed) including push walls, cladding, roof, steel repairs/replacements/additions and corrosion protection);
• Replacement and relocation of weighbridge facilities.
• Installation of temporary infrastructure to support the necessary changes to service delivery by the waste services contractor. This will largely involve provision and relocation of concrete block walls to create temporary tipping bays in alternative locations within the sites. The temporary block walls will be relocated into their final positions within the site to ensure maximum efficiency and avoid wasted resource.

The proposed works will need to be undertaken in a phased manner both between and within the individual sites. Churchfields, will need to be undertaken before commencement on the Waldo Road site, and will be predominantly closed throughout. Waldo Road site will need to take place across 2 key phases so that the site can remain operational throughout the works to ensure that waste collection and management services can continue. The management of waste within these sites is currently contracted to Veolia, who hold the relevant environmental permits, and very close liaison with them will be required throughout, along with other stakeholders.
