Thalia Waste Case Study

Requirement

When Thalia Waste needed to suspend operations at their recycling facility for essential upgrades and refurbishment, they saw an opportunity to improve welfare across their site. In need of effective, comfortable solutions to ensure their staff had somewhere warm, safe and comfortable to work, they turned to Garic for assistance.

Solution

Garic started by helping Thalia Waste plan out their site, with our smart design services. After discussing their needs for welfare units, power supply and water tanks, we created a bespoke site plan that would include 28 of our 24×9 Accomodation 2.0 units. These EPC-tested welfare cabins are insulated, quiet, and fitted with Lumin sensor lighting for use as either an office or canteen. For Thalia Waste’s team, they’d be a comfortable, safe working environment.

Result

Garic’s 24 x 9 Accomodation 2.0 units have already delivered the welfare improvements that Thalia Waste was looking for. The cabins’ near silent heating systems and insulation have provided significant noise reduction benefits, all while boosting thermal efficiency to keep the cabins comfortable – and help kit dry off more quickly. And the upgraded lighting systems allow for better energy efficiency and comfortable, uniform lighting. All of which adds up to positive feedback across the project.

“The most impressive feature of the units in trial has been the thermal efficiency and the comfort within the room. The cabins remain cool with the doors closed during hot weather and the drying rooms remain hotter for longer ensuring kit is useable the following morning. All these factors providing a comfortable environment that has resulted in ourselves encouraging the workforce to look after the units as we don’t want to ruin what we have in place.”
