Western Region Waste and Recycling combined office and warehouse

The client approached us direct to build a 3700m2 recycling transfer station and office facility to work with traffic flow and height requirements whilst still maintaining an economical build cost.
He came to us with a rough size and a clear idea of what he wanted at the end of the project. We then came up with a design that fulfilled his requirements and made the building very economical.

Challenges and solutions
Our client required a certain clearance height so his machinery could function inside, along with a requirement for a large number of entry and exit doors on both sides of the building.
We needed to test some concepts and studies on clearance heights as well as establish exactly what clearance height his specified machinery needed. Equipped with this essential information, we proceeded to work from the specs to determine an eave height for the structure. In regards to the door requirements, we researched the idea of roller shutters but ended up implementing a sliding door system with a removable ‘centre’ sliding door guide so there were no obstacles for Western Region Recycle and Waste Centre’s clients to hit when driving into the building.
