ATG Treatment Hub – Ballymena provides a sustainable alternative by offering treatment for waste materials that typically end up in landfills.
Our hub, which is conveniently located on the outskirts of Ballymena, brings our on-site remediation philosophy to land not previously thought suitable for remediation. For many companies operating within the Environmental and Waste Management Sector in Northern Ireland, the options are limited, and finding a viable solution is often difficult because of the clients’ site access, programme and budget constraints, or the small volume of contaminated material.
Instead of disposal, we treat waste at our hub and reuse it in restoration projects or other environmental betterment schemes. This off-site treatment option benefits everyone and enables your company to maintain its sustainable construction objectives, even on difficult sites.
Legislation requires that all waste soil exported from a site is classified in accordance with the guidance provided by the relevant Environment Agency.
Our site waste management solution involves chemical analysis in line with the required methodology to accurately segregate and classify excavation waste, resulting in substantial cost savings for your disposal needs.
Managing waste generated from construction or dredging operations can be a complex and expensive process, requiring strict classification and adherence to EC waste codes. The Duty of Care regulations further emphasise the need for meticulous attention and responsibility. However, with our expertise, you can have confidence that we will develop a tailored site waste management plan to streamline the process.
Measuring nearly 2.5 acres, our treatment hub features two spacious sheds and a concrete storage yard. These sheds ensure continuous treatment operations all year round, with certain activities conducted internally during inclement weather conditions.
Our treatment hub accepts contaminated non-hazardous waste. With years of on-site remediation experience, we possess the necessary technical competence and expertise to efficiently treat various contaminants:
- Hydrocarbons – petroleum, kerosene, diesel, mineral oil, etc.
- Heavy Metals – lead, copper, zinc, chromium, cadmium, arsenic etc.
