WATER & WASTE TREATMENT
Ensure service engineers can easily access key equipment to reduce downtime
personnel that could be on site at any one time and ensure there are adequate facilities available. In the unlikely event that operatives come into contact with large quantities of digestate or feedstock, it is important to make sure that the site includes good washing facilities and toilets in both clean and dirty areas. Showers, changing rooms, laundry rooms and a sufficient-sized mess room for operatives and contractors are also essential. 4. Take care of transport When designing your AD facility, consider
vehicle movements in and out of the site, as well as within the site boundary. A traffic management plan is a good starting point and depending on the number of vehicles expected on site, a traffic light system may also be required. Locate the weighbridge as close to the
operations office as possible to enable efficient communication between drivers and site personnel. If the weighbridge needs to be located further away, then ensure there is a serviceable automated ticketing system. Make certain there is enough turning and reversing space for vehicles delivering
feedstock or collecting digestate. If delivery vehicles are tipping into a reception building, it should be high enough to accommodate the bulk trailer at full tipping height. Factor in enough parking spaces to
accommodate all staff and contractors and situate car parks as close to the reception as possible. This will ensure that new personnel arriving on site can easily and safely get to reception prior to signing in and being inducted. Finally, ensure that the bund size is

total tank volume, whichever is higher) and that vehicles can easily access it, whether via a ramp or flood gate. To conclude, a comprehensive site design
coupled with strong 2D and 3D concept artworks can help developers to visualise their proposed sewage AD plant and correct any potential layout issues before building works commence, saving both time and money. For expert AD design and layout advice, contact
