Abstract
In 2018, Rhondda-Cynon-Taf Borough Council initiated a project to find an innovative solution to segregate recyclable waste to meet the Welsh government’s zero-waste targets. The solution involved procurement of a state-of-the-art, highly automated recycling plant within an existing structure. Anticipating design and supply challenges, the collaborative NEC4 contract suite was adopted. This paper describes the benefits and flexibility of NEC4, especially when unanticipated challenges were encountered, as well as lessons learned.
期刊介绍：
Civil Engineering, listed by the Web of Science, is the ICE''s flagship journal. Practical and diverse in its scope, it publishes overview papers for the non-specialist on any subject relevant to civil engineering today. Topics range from landmark projects to philosophical, ethical, environmental, management and safety issues.
Peer review, copyediting, and colour publication by Civil Engineering are free. If accepted, published papers are easily found by Google search, as well as in specialist citation indexes. There is also the option of making your article open access, should you wish to.
Published authors receive a free electronic copy of their article to share with their peers. Furthermore, as well exposure to ICE''s 91,000-strong membership, published papers are promoted via our social media channels, accessing the wider civil engineering community.
It is free to submit a paper to this journal. Papers appear Ahead of Print (below) as soon as they are ready to be published. Ahead of print articles are fully citable. using the DOI system
