Costain choose KOREC for high profile Belvedere Waste Project
The Nikon NPL-362 Total Station will increase speed and safety on site by providing reflectorless measurement to high points or areas inaccessible to a site worker
The UK’s largest energy from waste facility is currently under construction at Belvedere in South-East London and the subject of a recent extensive ‘Waste not want not’ feature in New Civil Engineer magazine. The design and build of the job is in the capable hands of civil engineers Costain and we are delighted to announce that KOREC has supplied the team with a range of Spectra, Nikon and Trimble surveying and construction instruments for use on this high profile project. Our photographer, and KOREC Construction Sales Consultant Sherrie Crawford, were privileged to spend a day on the site, and following a rigorous Health and Safety briefing, enjoyed some spectacular views of the Thames estuary under the guise of seeing our instruments in action.

The order included six Spectra Precision HV401 Lasers, four Spectra Precison HL700 Laserometers and one Nikon NPL-362 Reflectorless Total Station. KOREC has also supplied Trimble GPS and Robotic Total Stations for use on the same project. All these instruments will help Costain to deliver the main buildings, jetties, roads and offices for the £350 million project which is being developed by Cory Environmental and built by Swiss plant construction company Von Roll Inova. Costain’s Survey Manager, Stuart Fagg, told us “Waste Management is Costain’s fastest growing sector and the company is already participating in the £398 million Greater Manchester waste PFI project. The award of the Belvedere contract will position us exactly where we want to be – as leading contenders for all future opportunities in the waste sector. We have a long standing relationship with KOREC and know that their Spectra, Nikon and Trimble instruments will provide the rugged and reliable performance that a project of this stature demands. These instruments are backed up by KOREC’s Customer Service which delivers fast and dependable support both on and off the site.” The Spectra Precision HV401 general construction lasers will be used for checking piles and alignments. Stuart Fagg cites their flexibility as a key reason for their purchase.
