Other customer cases
Our mission: to design and implement a customized solution to protect sensitive materials while considering several technical and logistical constraints.
Indeed, EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) regulations mandate that mattresses and padding derived from EPR-WFE, intended for recovery and recycling, must be adequately protected and shielded from weather conditions to prevent any degradation.
Two major challenges emerged:
1. Site Constraints:
1. Soil Study and Sizing:
An in-depth analysis was conducted to evaluate the technical feasibility of the project. Specifically, we:
- 2 cells of 8.80m
- 2 cells of 5.60m
- 1 cell of 4m
Installation of Two COVERLINE® Dome Tunnels to Protect Materials from Weather Conditions While Meeting Safety Standards:
- 1 dome tunnel measuring 12m x 10m x H6m
- 1 dome tunnel measuring 6m x 10m x H3.50m.
A turnkey solution
From the initial diagnosis to the installation of the infrastructure, OTEXIO delivered a complete and tailored solution. Our expertise in civil engineering and modular structure design enabled us to overcome site constraints and optimize logistical organization.
A positive impact for the client
This installation has proven to be an ideal solution for the smooth operation of the site. Sensitive materials are now protected from weather conditions, facilitating their recovery and recycling. Material sorting within the cells and storage under the dome tunnels fully meet our client's expectations.
This collaboration once again illustrates our commitment to offering our customers tailor-made, high-performance and sustainable solutions.
Creation of Storage Cells in Concrete Blocks and COVERLINE® Dome Tunnels
We had the opportunity to collaborate with one of our clients located in the Creuse department (23) to address a specific storage challenge on their site.Our mission: to design and implement a customized solution to protect sensitive materials while considering several technical and logistical constraints.
A complex problem to solve
The client, having secured the contract for the collection and recycling of Waste from Furniture Elements (WFE) through the ECOMAISON channel, was quickly forced to expand their covered storage space.Indeed, EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) regulations mandate that mattresses and padding derived from EPR-WFE, intended for recovery and recycling, must be adequately protected and shielded from weather conditions to prevent any degradation.
Two major challenges emerged:
1. Site Constraints:
- A significant slope in the area designated for the infrastructure.
- A confined site that needed to be optimized to maximize productivity and facilitate the activity of all stakeholders.
- Specific machinery requiring unrestricted circulation around the facilities.
- Demolition of existing equipment to enhance operational efficiency
- Construction of a new slab capable of accommodating six cells made of OTEXBLOCKS® for material sorting.
- Installation of two dome tunnels to ensure optimal protection
The innovative solution proposed by OTEXIO
As with every project, our teams conducted an on-site visit and a thorough assessment of the client's specific needs and challenges. This key step allowed us to establish a detailed specification sheet, involving all stakeholders, to define:- A tailored solution considering the technical constraints of the site.
- An adapted covering to address storage constraints.
- The requirements for machinery circulation and fire risks, given the nature of the stored materials.
A Methodical Approach
1. Soil Study and Sizing:
An in-depth analysis was conducted to evaluate the technical feasibility of the project. Specifically, we:
- Conducted a soil study and implemented precise site monitoring.
- Sized the strip footings necessary for the placement of the blocks.
- Adjusted the load transfer points of the modular blocks to ensure their stability
- Installed structural beams covering 76m² to ensure structural stability.
- Fabrication and Installation of Modular Blocks Forming Six Custom-Made Cells for Efficient Material Sorting:
- 2 cells of 8.80m
- 2 cells of 5.60m
- 1 cell of 4m
Installation of Two COVERLINE® Dome Tunnels to Protect Materials from Weather Conditions While Meeting Safety Standards:
- 1 dome tunnel measuring 12m x 10m x H6m
- 1 dome tunnel measuring 6m x 10m x H3.50m.
