Constructing Excellence in Wales Paul Jennings, Director 12 th January 2016 Funded by Welsh Government to help improve the efficiency of the Welsh construction industry We promote construction best practice and knowledge especially the principles of sustainable collaborative working Promote the business case for best value procurement processes We provide a link between government, clients, industry and end users via projects, forums and networks. Who we are and what do we do? 1994 Sir Michael Latham Constructing the Team 1998 Sir John Egan Rethinking Construction Low profitability No investment in capital/R & D Dissatisfied clients Training crisis Barrier to change - LPT History Lesson Report proposed: Committed leadership Focus on the customer Integrated teams Quality driven agenda Commitment to people History Lesson Continued Then what?

The challenge for Wales will be to maintain waste arisings at this lower level during economic recovery by achieving a decoupling of growth in construction activity from waste arisings. Construction Waste Background Whats the Problem? Construction Waste Programme Paul Jennings Director Emma Thomas Director Ellen Jones Programme Manager Daniel Bowcott Delivery Officer Keith Watts Delivery Officer Lloyd Sparkes Graduate Project Officer CEW Team Surplus Centre/ reuse hubs Trade Waste Bring Sites (TWBS) Intervention and Innovations Forum Data Collection Green Compass Monitoring and Evaluation Enabling Zero Waste Construction Waste Programme This element of the programme aims to prevent surplus materials from becoming a waste and to maintain the quality of surplus construction materials This reuse element will ensure that surplus materials will avoid material down cycling and/or landfill and deliver benefits under the well-being goals: A prosperous Wales, A Wales of cohesive communities and A more equal Wales. Surplus Centres/Re-Use Hubs Surplus Centre/ reuse hubs Trade Waste Bring Sites (TWBS) Intervention and Innovations Forum Data Collection Green Compass Monitoring and Evaluation Enabling Zero Waste Construction Waste Programme This programme element aims to encourage and increase the reuse and recycling of waste through establishing a network of TWBS The aim of the TWBS is to establish civic amenity (CA) type facilities at builders merchants to allow trade customers to bring their construction and demolition waste for segregated recovery Segregation prevents cross contamination, helping to ensure the highest quality recyclate Service targeted at small builders Trade Waste Bring Sites (TWBS) Surplus Centre/ reuse hubs Trade Waste Bring Sites (TWBS) Intervention and Innovations Forum Data Collection Green Compass Monitoring and Evaluation Enabling Zero Waste Construction Waste Programme Requests from suppliers and contractors seeking support to address technical issues and overcome the obstacles preventing the wider use of recycled and secondary materials CEW will look at opportunities within contracts to address the potential for inclusion of alternative sources of materials at the design stage Overcoming risk aversion and engineering prejudice will increase the use of secondary, recycled and by-product materials in construction with a corresponding decrease in the use of virgin material. Interventions and Innovation Delivery Forum Surplus Centre/ reuse hubs Trade Waste Bring Sites (TWBS) Intervention and Innovations Forum Data Collection Green Compass Monitoring and Evaluation Enabling Zero Waste Construction Waste Programme Waste data collected throughout the construction phase of projects Wales-wide database of construction waste data for a range of projects will be established This will enable industry benchmarks and targets to be set Cloud based system Waste app Skip Advisor Data Collection Surplus Centre/ reuse hubs Trade Waste Bring Sites (TWBS) Intervention and Innovations Forum Data Collection Green Compass Monitoring and Evaluation Enabling Zero Waste Construction Waste Programme Established in 2009 PAS402 and the Green Compass Scheme were developed by CEW to provide support to and independent verification of the performance of waste management organisations. The scheme provides validated waste data Quality management system for waste management companies PAS402:2013 and the Green Compass Scheme 66 companies independently United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) inspected, verifying the diversion from landfill of 2,081,566 tonnes of waste Companies have diverted an additional 148,358 tonnes of waste from landfill.

Template Outline This document provides an outline of the proposed Materials and Waste Management Template. It includes a description of the reasons for setting out the template in the notes section. It is intended that the document will be converted into an appropriate format for use on welsh construction sites. This will either be in word or excel. The welsh government may also decide to make the document available in a web based form that can be accessed by mobile devices. It is suggested that there are four sections to the template: Site Description Materials and Waste Estimate Materials Tracking Waste Tracking Site Description Location:Location of the site for reference Description:A description of the type of works and reference to any site drawings or references. Materials and Waste Principles: A reference to the principles of waste management, either as a reference to following the waste hierarchy or that the project team has signed up to the Code of Practice. Client: Designer: Contractor: Site arrangements: Description of the arrangement on site for materials and waste management, including the space for storage, site access, number of people on site. Training and competence: Description of the competence of people on site, who is responsible for waste management and how everyone will be informed of what needs to happen with materials and waste day to day. Materials and Waste Estimate Material Type Amount Amount recycle/ Reused on site Waste Management List of Waste Code Waste Cost Demolition/ Strip-out materials Start Date: End Date: Material TypeAmount Amount recycle/ Reused on site Waste Management List of Waste Code Waste Cost Excavation materials Start Date: End Date: The estimate will be produced by the relevant person involved in the project. The light red sections will be completed by the demolition / groundwork/ construction contractor This section and the site description can be sent to the waste management contractor to provide the waste management options, relevant waste code and cost estimate (often demolition and groundwork contractor will also manage waste and may include this in their initial quote). This section has a focus on both materials and waste making the link across the two. Material amounts can be taken from a bill of quantities. Materials Tracking Material TypeDelivery dateSupplierAmountCost Materials Supplier NameContact Details Materials Tracker MaterialAmountCost Waste Amount Waste Management List of Waste Code Waste Cost Construction materials Start Date: End Date: When purchased the materials should be tracked so that the contractor can keep a record of what has been brought to site and the overall cost of it. Suppliers can be logged and an account kept. This should not duplicate any purchasing logs that are already kept. Waste Tracking Waste Type Location of skip ContractorAmount Waste Management Cost Waste Contractor NameContact DetailsDate checked with Environment Agency (dd/mm/yyyy) Registration Number Expiry Date (dd/mm/yyyy) Waste Facility NameContact DetailsDate checked with Environment Agency (dd/mm/yyyy) License / exemption number Expiry Date (dd/mm/yyyy) The contractor would keep a track of any waste costs and where waste has been taken. If it is a small site with a single skip then the comparison of the purchase materials against the amount taken off site will enable the contractor to keep a better track of costs. If this is done in excel then we can draw through some numbers to give a better indication of the total cost of the waste.
