TDIC installs UAE's first purpose-built environmentally sustainable WMF
Abu Dhabi, Sept 7, 2009 (WAM)- Tourism Development '&' Investment Company (TDIC), a master developer of leading tourism real estate assets within Abu Dhabi, in conjunction with the facilities management company Thiess Services Middle East, has designed and installed the UAE's first purpose-built environmentally sustainable Waste Management Facility (WMF).
Located on Saadiyat Island, the new facility is now operational to receive the increasing quantities of building waste being generated from the construction activities taking place on the island. The WMF, which covers a total of three hectares (30,000 sq metres), segregates and recovers all valuable commodities from waste materials which would normally have been sent to landfills. The recovered commodities are then either reused on other construction projects on the island or made suitable for resale.
The new facility has been specifically designed to provide optimum waste recovery practices while being financially viable. It employs practical approaches to the management of industrial and commercial waste and to date has processed over 215,000 cubic metres of building waste, concrete and reject rock and has recovered over 199,163 cubic metres of reusable materials. The types of commodities typically salvaged include roadbase products, aggregates, plastics, paper, cardboard, wood, steel and aluminium.
Thiess Services Middle East is renowned as a versatile, innovative and diverse environmental, facilities management and utilities contracting organization. Its core business is facilities management, the management of waste materials and land remediation using its proprietary Waste Management System to provide sustainable solutions to all waste issues.
