A unique recycling project has been completed in Surrey to deliver a new waste processing building.

Architects WDR & RT Taggart worked with Thornton Roofing on the project in Stanwell Moor.

The factory is located on a five-hectare site at Oakleaf Farm Recycling, close to residential housing developments, the Staines Reservoirs and Heathrow Airport.

A Euroclad Elite 2 acoustic roofing system and Euroclad Elite 55 acoustic wall cladding system were both installed on the project.

The revolutionary roofing system designed by Thornton has been built with an insulation gap between the outer and inner lining sheet in order to curtail possible noise emissions. In addition to this, the double skinned walls prevent unwanted noise reverberations in the green belt.


Paul McErlane, Contracts Manager at Thornton Roofing, said: "We are particularly proud to have worked on this unique project. Certain requirements of the project meant that specialist skills were necessary to deliver on site objectives. It was fantastic that we at Thornton are recognised as being able to deliver specialist requirements and execute them with a calibre of high degree.

"Ensuring that strict noise (laws) were met were of paramount importance, ensuring that these standards were met was a key consideration when selecting products for the project. The Thornton team were consistently proactive in building positive relationships with the entire team on-site and always delivered on requirements to an impeccable standard. Competence levels displayed by the team were impressive and had a positive ripple effect across the entire team on-site."
