The solution

Specialising in comprehensive waste management in the Auvergne region, PRAXY called on the SHELTERALL® teams to create an unloading and sorting area for eco-furniture waste.

On this new site in Gerzat, the challenge was to propose a storage shed that complied with the specific town planning regulations for an industrial zone where archaeological excavations are carried out. The constraints were to avoid damaging the soil and limit the building height to 12 metres. Drawing on their expertise, the SHELTERALL® teams proposed a 25-metre-wide building installed on a 1-metre poured concrete wall for a total height of 12 metres. This solution, with its shallow foundations, offers maximum volume and quick installation, which won over PRAXY.

Covered and uncovered sorting areas were created to optimise space and improve waste flow management.

Under the building, storage bins made of TOUTABLOC® concrete blocks were installed to facilitate sorting in a covered area. This batching protects the waste from bad weather, preserves its quality and reduces the risk of contamination caused by weather conditions. PRAXY opted for certified fire-resistant TOUTABLOC® concrete blocks (240-minute fire resistance) and a batching configuration to limit propagation and provide maximum safety for its teams.

The fully free-standing arch of SHELTERALL® sheds makes it easy to work with a 10-metre high power shovel, equipped with a grab for sorting waste.

White fire-retardant tarpaulin was installed to enhance the light inside, reduce temperatures and optimize sound insulation. Thanks to side-wall flocking (3 x 12m Praxy logo), the sorting centre building is a powerful communication tool.

Many waste sorting and collection professionals choose SHELTERALL® for its modularity, which offers a large working volume, and adapts to all types of waste storage and recycling.
