What was the brief?
Following a devastating fire at Morden Waste Transfer Centre in July 2024, SUEZ appointed Octane Construction to deliver the extensive repair and reinstatement of this critical waste management facility. AtkinsRéalis provided project management support throughout the programme, with the works requiring careful coordination across multiple areas of the site.
The brief required the facility to be safely restored to full operational capability while meeting demanding quality, safety, programme, and performance standards. The project also required detailed planning, effective coordination, and a strong focus on long-term operational resilience, ensuring the reinstated facility could return to service with confidence.
STEP TWO
What did Octane do?
Octane Construction acted as Principal Contractor, managing the repair and reinstatement programme from mobilisation through to successful handover. The programme included:
Structural & Civil Works: Extensive repairs and strengthening were undertaken to the existing structure, alongside associated civil engineering works required as part of the reinstatement programme.
Building & External Works: Key areas of the facility were reinstated, including associated structural, roofing, cladding, drainage, and fire protection works to restore the site following the fire.
Project Coordination & Delivery: Octane managed specialist contractors, programme requirements, site operations, and quality control throughout the project. Careful coordination helped maintain high standards of safety and workmanship while supporting efficient delivery across the site.
STEP THREE
What was the result?
Morden Waste Transfer Centre was successfully completed and handed back to the client, restoring the critical waste management facility to full operational capability. The completed reinstatement provided the client with a fully restored operational facility following the devastating fire, while maintaining a clear focus on quality and long-term operational requirements.
Octane Construction’s structured project management and proactive coordination supported the successful delivery of complex repair and reinstatement works. The project demonstrates Octane’s ability to manage challenging infrastructure projects, coordinate specialist works, and maintain demanding standards of safety, quality, programme performance, and operational resilience.
