The project includes two mechanical sorting facilities in Beirut’s northern and southern suburbs, with 9 sorting lines recovering recyclables and organic waste for composting. A tunnel composting facility processes 750 tons/day of organics. A warehouse stores recovered materials before sale. Upgrades will add 4 lines, increasing capacity to 4,200 tons/day, improving recycling rates and compost quality. CDR aimed to control waste chaos, meet standards, and minimize environmental impact.

Environmental control
Laceco responded to the above objectives by:
Designing a consistent urban framework that nevertheless provided a diversity in the individual architectural character of buildings.
Curating a seamless pedestrian experience in a site that had a challenging topography and was exposed to dominant winds.
Anchoring the site along three platforms linked to each other by a continuous game of terraces, stairs, suspended bridges and esplanades that gently slope down the length of the development.
Conducting value engineering and cost optimization studies to preserve economic viability of the development.
Laceco responded to the above objectives by:
Supervising the day-to-day operation and maintenance activities.
Preparing the detailed design studies for the upgrade works of the existing sorting facilities and the new planned facility.
Supervising the upgrade works of the existing lines and construction of the new additional lines (works currently under execution).
Managing the contract on behalf of the Client.
Interesting facts
The facilities are operational
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The data management system of all sites including the sanitary landfills is designed in such a way that it allows the accurate tracking of all incoming/outgoing vehicles.
