Modular Covered Waste Bay Solution for Environmental Operations
A modular industrial structure was utilised for the Cleanaway residue storage project, providing protected covered space for chemical residue and waste management operations across facilities in Sydney and Melbourne.
Cleanaway Project Overview
Cleanaway required a practical and adaptable structure solution to support the storage and protection of residue materials associated with chemical storage operations. The project called for a fast deployment solution that could integrate into active environmental and waste management facilities while maintaining operational efficiency.
A modular industrial structure measuring 15m x 10m with a 6.2m side height was configured to provide a durable covered waste bay and residue storage environment. The structure was designed to support day-to-day waste handling activities while protecting stored materials from environmental exposure.

Supporting Waste & Environmental Operations
Facilities involved in waste management and environmental services often require flexible covered space for:
Residue storage
Hazardous materials containment
Resource recovery operations
Machinery and equipment protection
Bulk materials handling
The modular design provided a practical solution that could be integrated into live operational sites without the delays associated with conventional construction.

Structure Configuration
The project included a modular industrial structure featuring:
Dimensions: 15m wide x 10m long x 6.2m side height
Key Features
Vinyl side walling
Enclosed 8m gable end
Open 6m side access
Freight delivery to Melbourne
Component supply and installation support
The open-sided layout allowed for efficient vehicle and machinery movement, while the enclosed gable end improved protection from wind and rain.

Why Modular Structures Were Effective
For environmental and waste management applications, modular structures offer several operational advantages:
Rapid deployment and minimal site disruption
Flexible layouts for equipment and materials handling
Covered waste bay functionality
Protection from weather exposure
Expandable and relocatable systems
Large clear-span internal space for operational efficiency
This approach enabled Cleanaway to create protected operational space while maintaining flexibility for ongoing site activities.
Built for Industrial & Environmental Applications
Structures like this are commonly used across:
Hazardous materials storage
Environmental remediation projects
Resource recovery operations
Temporary industrial storage
Machinery shelters and covered processing areas
Their flexibility makes them ideal for industries requiring fast, adaptable infrastructure solutions.
Project Outcome
The completed structure delivered a practical and efficient residue storage solution that supported Cleanaway’s operational requirements across active environmental facilities.
Key outcomes included:
Protected covered storage space
Improved operational workflow
Efficient access for machinery and vehicles
Rapid deployment with minimal disruption
