When South Ayrshire Council needed a new weighbridge office at Heathfield Recycling Centre, Aroha Escapes replaced an ageing cabin with a purpose-built, highly insulated modular office. Manufactured off-site and installed with minimal disruption, the completed building delivers a secure, comfortable and compliant workspace.
South Ayrshire Council needed a complete replacement for an outdated weighbridge facility at Heathfield Recycling Centre. Aroha Escapes manufactured the modular office in our Ayrshire workshop and installed it on site with minimal disruption to the live recycling operation.
Challenges
Live Site Logistics
Installation was completed during weekend downtime to ensure the recycling centre reopened fully operational on Monday.
Installation Execution
Multiple contractors worked simultaneously within a tight timeframe, leaving no margin for delays.
Existing Ground Conditions
Structural engineers verified existing supports were suitable, with SER certification issued for compliance.
Fixed Programme Constraints
The old office required complete removal before installation, creating a critical programme dependency.
Restricted Site Access
Limited working space required precise coordination of deliveries, crane operations, and contractor movements.
The Solution
Detailed planning, weekly client meetings, and off-site construction enabled efficient installation with minimal disruption. By manufacturing the building in our workshop and coordinating all trades in advance, the new weighbridge office was delivered, installed, and commissioned safely within the client’s strict operational timeframe.
The Result
The project delivered a high-quality modular weighbridge office that combines durability, functionality, and user comfort. Installed without impacting the recycling centre’s operations, the facility was completed on schedule and exceeded client expectations, demonstrating the efficiency and reliability of Aroha Escapes’ modular construction approach.
“Working with a client and contractor who were fully committed through out the entire process, from inception to delivery and installation, has been brilliant. It’s exactly the way all projects should be delivered. A fantastic result and full credit to all parties involved.”
