Synetiq are busy building a new site in Gloucestershire. Work for the major contract win will take place over the next three to four months, with Earthworks constructing a new 25,000sqm yard with a 4500 cubic metre concrete pour. Earthworks will also install over 2,000 cubic metres of tank at the site to create a new drainage system with storm water attenuation tanks to prevent flooding.
SYNETIQ handles 150,000 vehicles a year across multiple UK sites. Its recycling and
recovery rate is more than 95% of the weight of each of the 40,000 vehicles it scraps –
which exceeds the target set by Europe.
Earthworks is using state of the art machinery and the latest groundworks technology to
construct the new yard in Gloucester, where vehicles will be stored in four storey high
racks.
The contract win comes after Earthworks successfully carried out work to reconstruct the holding yards for thousands of scrap and salvage vehicles at one of SYNETIQ’s other
sites in Nantwich, Cheshire, last year.
Martin Downes, Managing Director of Earthworks, comments:
“This project not only sees us supporting the development of a successful, growing business, but it also shows our commitment to working with companies that help the environment.
“We are taking care to carry out work with minimum of disruption to the company’s daytoday operations. With some COVID19 restrictions still in place, we are ensuring that
our team is segregated from the main workforce and we have created separate
redirection and plant routes.”
Martin adds: “We’re proud to have been selected to carry out another project for
SYNETIQ, especially one of this size and nature.”
