Albion Environmental Ltd provides CQA Engineering as par of a wide range of services. CQA stands for Construction Quality Assurance. Our staff are highly trained and have years of experience in CQA engineering. We provide a CQA representative on site throughout the works to monitor day to day activities as well as provide a CQA Engineer who is a Chartered Civil Engineer with over 20 years experience.
The CQA work provides the assurance and validation for each of the elements of the engineering. We have experience in providing CQA for both the installation of boreholes as well as landfill cell engineering.
In the past 12 months we have undertaken CQA work for the construction of a new landfill cell for Tarbolton Landfill Ltd at their site near Ayr. The key areas for this were the landfill containment cell liner, containment cell leachate drainage and collection system and the connection to the previous landfill cell. The cell was initially lined with 500mm clay followed by a 2.5mm HDPE liner with a protective geotextile fleece. The CQA for the engineering works ensured levels conformed to the design at all stages of construction as well as the quality and consistency of all materials used. Levels of formation and samples of materials were taken daily throughout construction.
We also provided CQA for the capping of Tarbolton Landfill Ltd’s old landfill cells in the pre-PPC Zone 1 area as well as the capping of Phase 3 at Straid Farm Landfill near Girvan. Both these projects are ongoing at present.
