Our team managed all waste streams throughout the project, including barge movements via the Thames, helping to reduce road miles, congestion and carbon emissions while maintaining high recycling and recovery rates.

Waste by Water

Using the Thames for barge movements is one of the most effective ways to reduce the environmental impact of construction logistics in central London. Fewer HGV movements means less road congestion, lower emissions and a reduced impact on the surrounding community — a key consideration on a high-profile riverside development like this.
