McLaughlin & Harvey has been named as the main contractor on a £33 million project to deliver a new waste transfer station in Barnet.

The Geron Way Waste Transfer Station, commissioned by the London Borough of Barnet Council as part of the wider Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration programme, will be built for the North London Waste Authority (NLWA). Construction is due to begin in late September.

The 9,000sqm facility will process waste and recycling for Barnet and six other North London boroughs. It has been designed with a strong focus on sustainability, featuring living roofs, noise and odour controls, and measures to enhance biodiversity.

Construction works will include piled foundations, a steel frame superstructure, and external landscaping. The project is targeting a BREEAM Very Good rating, with the design aimed at reducing the impact of operations on local residents while improving environmental performance.
