Case Studies


Fortel – M5 Central Reservation Renewal - Kier Build - Featherstone Prison - TV4 Project Service Roads - Fryers Road Regeneration

Fortel – M5 Central Reservation Renewal

Problem

Works to replace the central reservation on the M5 required the removal of around 15,000T of concrete, asphalt and sub-base material with most of this being done at night to limit road disruption.

Solution

JPE were able to offer sufficient dedicated transport throughout the night and operate a receiving location conveniently located and available 24hrs a day.

Outcome

All material was removed on schedule and it is now being crushed and treated for re-use in the construction sector.

Kier Build - Featherstone Prison

Problem

The developers of an extension to featherstone Prison had a large stockpile of ground works arisings and topsoils that they needed removing from the site in as sustainable way as possible.

Solution

We were able to offer a complete load and dispose solution for both the clays and topsoils that was fully compatible with the main contractors sustainability requirements. Both materials were put to a beneficial use for the recovery of brownfield land.

Outcome

Development at Fetherstone can continue on its agreed programme and the most significant quantity of wastes materials arising from it have been used to assist in the recovery of two brownfield sites within Staffordshire.

TV4 Project Service Roads

Problem

Following our successful involvement in the supply of construction fill to the Network Rail project, the fully sealed service road built as an HGV access to it was required to be lifted and removed

Solution

JPE has taken much of this waste to it's Elford Quarry site. The source of much of the original bulk fill, and is currently recovering the stone and sand content for re-use as washed recycled aggregate.

Outcome

We are now able to offer a range of washed recycled aggregates including concrete sand and gravels all of which have been recovered from the re-instatement of land taken during this major project

Fryers Road Regeneration

Problem

The Friars Road site was a disused 9 acre, factory landfill site in the Black Country. The requirement was to bring it back to a standard suitable for large scale, commercial building and employment uses.

Solution

The site was remediated under a programme agreed with the Environment Agency which included the capping of 5 mineshafts beneath the site, the closing and infilling of a canal basin and the importation of suitable fill. Now complete the site could no longer be designated as contaminated or unsuitable for development.

Outcome

The site has been granted planning permission for industrial development and is an identified strategic waste management site in the emerging Black Country Core Strategy. part of the permitted uses on the site is a large Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) and a 5MWe output Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP). This facility is expected to be completed by 2012 and will offer an alternative to landfilling of skip waste residues.
