RCR Construction

Turnkey Delivery and Building Construction and Plant Assembly

 

In every contract for turnkey supply, RCR’s technical team and surveyors undertake site visits to determine, comprehend and fully accept the local ground conditions, the positioning of utilities, fresh water supply (well, municipal supply, seawater desalination, wastewater recovery for reuse.

 

The positioning and location of substations, overhead power cables and pylons and a full understanding of all groundwater sources, risks of contamination and of course onsite and offsite facilities such as access roads, proximity to the highway and how high volumes of traffic can access or egress the main arterial road network to avoid back ups or congestion from RCR’s waste collection vehicles either arriving fully laden or returning to their collection rounds empty.

 

In simple terms it is often preferable to co-locate a new RCR STAG plant adjacent to an existing landfill. The reasons are logical insofar that at the time the location of the landfill was agreed, a planning and zoning application would have been submitted and access to and exiting from the landfill site, the necessary upgrading of the road network and ensuring that trucks can leave the highway without congestion, sufficient on site parking for vehicles waiting in line to discharge their waste cargo are all carefully considered.

 

The issues of specific use of the land – such as waste disposal, waste recycling, waste recovery or segregation and treatment, will all have been addressed and subject to the grant of the relevant permit. The issues  of potential noise, odour, traffic generation, truck movements on and off the highways or main arterial roads would have been subject to environmental impact studies and subsequently approved by city and town planners. Issues relating to air quality, the environment, the impact on local fauna and flora, the impact on the ground and surface water will all be studied carefully and if appropriate  suitable measures of such capacity to ensure the preservation of the environment and minimise the environmental impact.

 

Consent and permits for the mining of existing landfills, the recovery of value form the landfilled waste, the remediation of landfills over time and even extending to landfill gas management systems, landfill closure, or landfill rehabilitation re all factored into the RCR’s overall proposal.

 

Building Construction

 

In 95% of circumstances RCR’s rule to engage with local national architects who can review and make minor amendments to drawings and the technical notes to reflect local bye laws and legislation. We encourage engaging with local construction companies, the suppliers of electrical switchgear that are already complaint to the local utility company operational requirements ensure that local electrical equipment, local mechanical equipment are sourced locally and installed and serviced by local companies.

 

Local cement companies, brick and block makers, concrete panel fabricators, roofing contractors and cladding manufacturers and installers are prescribed and assistance is provided to finance their involvement on their scope of works, hence often removing the one big barrier for local companies to compete as suppliers of goods and services – limited work in progress funding eliminates these local suppliers and RCR structures financing packages with agreed milestones and standby letters of credit that provide the appropriate security for local suppliers and contractors to bid for and secure construction contracts.

 

All of the STAG systems, the depolymerisation installations and the tyre deconstruction plant are delivered on a turnkey basis. The design is modular that enable future additional expansion to permitted subject only to the physical constraints of existing buildings or adjacent land.

 

Most sophisticated and complex  plant are now of a modular design that enables all plant and equipment testing to take place at the OEM’s fabrication facilities before they are delivered to site, often on skids but generally in such module size as to be capable of normal road transportation without wide loads restrictions. Temporary hire of a crane enables the plant or equipment to be manoeuvred into place, linked up and connected to other modules for the whole to be operation in quick time.
