Project Overview
Airmatic Ltd partnered with ERG to deliver extraction improvements within a Mechanical Pre‑Treatment (MPT) facility operated by a leading UK waste management company. The project involved the design, supply and installation of 14 bespoke extraction hoods to improve containment of airborne contaminants at key discharge points, alongside wider upgrades to the site’s room extraction and dust extraction systems.
The objective of the project was to improve environmental conditions within the facility, enhance operator safety and optimise overall extraction performance across the processing area. Due to the demanding nature of the operating environment, the system was engineered to maximise containment efficiency while maintaining operational access, incorporating robust materials and practical maintenance considerations throughout.
Airmatic worked closely with both ERG and the end client to provide a responsive and efficient solution from initial design through to installation and commissioning.
Scope of Work
The project included the design, manufacture, supply and installation of a complete extraction improvement package tailored to the operational requirements of the facility.
Core Project Elements
The upgraded extraction systems were designed to improve airflow management and provide more effective containment of airborne contaminants generated during material processing operations.
Technical Features of the System
To ensure long‑term reliability and maintainability within a challenging industrial environment, the system incorporated several specialist design and fabrication features.
System Features Included:
Each element of the system was manufactured to support durability, ease of maintenance and efficient extraction performance within a high‑usage operational environment.
Installation & Delivery
Airmatic delivered the project using a coordinated installation approach designed to maintain efficiency while working within the operational constraints of the facility.
Installation & Delivery Scope
The installation works were carefully planned to minimise disruption to ongoing site operations while ensuring safe and efficient completion of all mechanical works.
The solution and what we delivered:
A key part of the project’s success was Airmatic’s collaborative and responsive approach throughout both the engineering and installation phases.
The project benefited from:
By maintaining close communication with both ERG and the end client, Airmatic ensured the project progressed efficiently while meeting programme and operational requirements.
Consistent Service Quality Across the Supply Chain
The project further demonstrated Airmatic’s ability to provide consistent service quality and dependable engineering support across the wider ERG supply chain.
Key Outcomes Included:
Conclusion
The successful completion of the Waste‑to‑Energy Room Extraction Works project demonstrates Airmatic’s ability to deliver practical, high‑performance extraction and ventilation solutions within demanding industrial environments.
By combining bespoke fabrication, responsive project management and efficient onsite installation, Airmatic was able to provide a fully integrated solution that improved contaminant containment, enhanced operational performance and supported safer working conditions throughout the facility.
The project also highlights Airmatic’s strength in delivering collaborative engineering solutions alongside major contractors and industrial operators. Through a combination of technical expertise, flexible delivery capability and consistent communication, Airmatic continues to support complex industrial and environmental projects across the UK with reliable, high‑quality ventilation and extraction systems.
