Following acquisition in 2008, development of the derelict 4.1 acre site was split into two
phases.
The first phase involved the total refurbishment of the existing building providing 16,000
sq. ft. of warehouse space for the disposal, processing and recycling of end of life heavy
electrical equipment as well as the treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes. 6,000
sq. ft. of modern office space and training facilities were also constructed as part of the
first phase development which completed in 2010.
Phase 2 of the expansion commenced in September 2011 and included the construction of
two new industrial units, security lodge, weighbridge and new access road from the public
highway.
Designed to accept abnormal loads, the newly constructed road provides dedicated access
from the public highway to the new 10,000 sq. ft. heavy load bay.
Equipped with 2 x 63
tonne gantry cranes each fitted with 20 tonne auxiliary hoists, the new heavy load bay also
features a 5,000 sq. ft. processing/storage area and additional hot work facilities which
historically have been undertaken exclusively at Pyle, Bridgend.
The second unit constructed as part of the phase 2 development provides overhead lift
capacity of up to 20 tonnes, 13,500 sq. ft. of additional storage space, a dedicated SF6
processing area and laboratory.
Following successful completion of the development, the very first transformer was
received into the heavy load bay for dismantling on the 8th May 2012.
