Our construction and demolition waste treatment, transfer and recycling business, is a significant attribute within our service. This comprises 3 facilities specifically geared towards the sorting of recyclable materials to provide high quality recycled aggregates, topsoil and subsoil. Waste is sorted to separate out timber, cardboard/paper, scrap metals, plasterboard, tyres, plastics and glass; these waste materials are sent to specialist reprocessors for further processing. These procedures minimise waste sent to landfill, increases recycling rates and reduces environmental impact.
As market leaders in waste management, Malcolm Construction re-uses and recycles construction and demolition waste in a safe and cost effective manner, with the minimum of environmental impact. Our strategically located and fully licensed sites ensure that waste is handled in accordance with current legislation, which typically accounts for around 1 million tonnes of waste per year ranging from construction to hazardous and contaminated waste materials. We also aim to lead the construction industry in the supply of quality recycled aggregates, an objective which has required us to build greater flexibilities into our processes to meet the reaction time expectations of our customers alongside the ever -changing market conditions.
Intermodal Railfreight is now a fundamental part of the UK logistics sector. For the last 20 years we have delivered 'Just In Time' solutions to many high street names and manufacturers. Our rail services benefit a wide range of users in many sectors, typically integrated with road to offer the coverage required by our customers. By complementing our wider logistics operation with rail we derive the best from each mode of transport using intermodal containers and curtainside swapbody units. Coupled to our rail transport provision is a terminal operation which allows us to offer a wide variety of handling services in line with our multi customer approach.
Malcolm Maintenance employs a team of highly skilled HGV mechanics, spray painters and MOT testers. Our expertise is second to none which is reflected in the excellent condition and reliability of our in-house fleet. Our fleet management system enables maintenance schedules to be compiled, controlled and administered in accordance with an organisation's service level requirement. A group of nine Transaid corporate partners and ambassadors have returned from a self-funded visit to the Industrial Training Centre (ITC) in Zambia, to see for themselves the value of Transaid's work and the transport challenges faced across sub-Saharan Africa.
We have earned an enviable reputation as a quality service provider, solving complex problems but moreover, for successfully delivering projects on either a stand-alone basis or as part of a consortia, offering a larger package to major construction contractors, local authorities and consulting engineers. Malcolm Construction is in a unique position to provide end-to-end solutions to the most challenging construction projects by engaging with its specialist group companies. Among these is Charles Lawrence Surfaces, a leading technical innovator in the specialised field of synthetic sports surfacing: Woodholme Construction, leaders in laser controlled paving and specialist skills in the preparation and full construction of all-weather surfaces.
