MRE Guide for Regeneration and Major Project Support

Regeneration

Linking the demolition and new-build stages to maximise resource efficiency.

WRAP regeneration guideBrings together:ICE Demolition ProtocolUsing reclaimed materialsGood practice site waste

Current Projects

• England• Moss Side, Manchester• Loam Pit Vale, Lewisham

• Scotland• Bishopsbriggs, Glasgow• Raploch, Stirling• Clyde Gateway• Dumfries and Galloway

Ongoing Work

Major Project Support– Work is being contracted.– Further five projects– Varied size and sector across England and

Wales– Client and Contractor Campaign Support

Material Logistics Plans

Material Logistics Plans

A tool to manage all materials from project conception through to demobilisation and completion.

Key aspects:Setting objectives and KPIs for

efficient material useMinimisation of materials through

attention to specifications, delivery & storage, handling & use, disposal

Identifying lessons learnt and best practice.

A cross section

• Any type of project Housing - commercial - retail - public - schools

- transport - infrastructure

• Any size of project £ 16 billion - £600k

• Any location City centre - urban - rural

How can material logistics help?

• Efficient construction• Reduced transport and associated CO2• Reduced productivity loss• Improved health & safety• Reduced damaged by:

Weather Bad storage conditions Unnecessary movements Poor handling

Strategies

• Just-in-time• On site logistics specialists• Construction consolidation centres• Off-site manufacture• 4th party logistics• On-site marketplaces• IT solutions

Traditional transport to site

Site

• Many separate deliveries• Un-coordinated arrivals • Risk of congestion on site and at gates• Many half empty lorries or …• Consignments too large• High stock levels on site• Empty return journeys• High traffic flow - high CO2

Construction Consolidation Centres CCC

Site

Concrete, steelwork, very large items, and full vehicle loads when required, go directly to site

• Contractors deliver to CCC

• Mixed loads from CCC• Daily deliveries - JIT• Logistics operator runs

the CCC• Transport to site • On site handling• Waste removed on

return journeys• Bulked up, compacted

etc at the CCC

Off site manufacturing OSM

• Controlled manufacturing environment

• Standardisation• Consistent quality• Shorter time on site• Design freeze• Packaging• Transport and Travel• Reduced cost and risk

WRAP case studiesSpecific case studies examples developed by WRAP looking at:

Volumetric methods – CAD CAM software helps reduce waste <0.6% Pre-fabrication: Pods – post production waste <1%

Pre-cast concrete – Bison have reduced waste to landfill <1% using their system

Timber frame - <2% waste sent to landfill

Light Steel Frame – materials requirements down 5% and wastage reduced from 12% to <1%

Reverse LogisticsWAS620

Efficient use of vehicles visiting site – promoting better waste management

Materials arrive on site in delivery vehicles, are dropped off, and the vehicle leaves empty

Waste vehicles arrive on site empty and leave full with waste

The reverse logistics concept

A logistics operation that seeks to avoid the empty journeys, and promote the take-back of un-used and wasted materials could have a range of environmental benefits

The concept

Take-back schemes are becoming more common offerings to UK construction sites

There is a real opportunity here to:

Promote the take-back of unused / waste product and packaging by delivery vehicles

Reduce vehicle movements and mileages associated with material supply and waste management

Reduce the environmental impact of construction

The Reverse Logistics ModelExcel based model compares current against potential

The model reports the results in terms of:

The proportions of waste, recyclate and back-hauled material

The costs of material purchase, waste management and back-hauling

The number of miles travelled for delivery and waste travelled

The associated carbon footprint
