Modular Covered Waste Bay Solution for Chemical Residue Protection
Cleanaway Waste Management required a modular storage structure to help protect and contain residue materials associated with chemical storage operations across facilities in Sydney and Melbourne.
The project required a fast and practical solution that would provide weather protection for stored materials while supporting ongoing waste and environmental operations.
Australian Temporary Structures supplied a modular industrial structure designed specifically for covered waste bay and residue storage applications.

What Was the Cleanaway Structure Scope?
The project involved the supply and installation of a modular structure measuring:
15m wide
10m long
6.2m side height
The second structure included:
Vinyl side walling
Enclosed 8m gable end
Open 6m side access
Freight delivery to Melbourne
Full installation labour and component supply
The open-sided configuration allowed for easy vehicle and machinery access while still providing weather protection for residue materials and operational equipment.

Why Was a Modular Structure Selected?
The client required a solution that could be deployed quickly without the delays associated with conventional construction.
The modular structure provided several key advantages including:
Rapid installation
Flexible access for waste handling equipment
Covered waste bay functionality
Protection from rain and environmental exposure
Adaptable layout for operational workflows
Scalable and relocatable design
The structure was specifically configured to support residue storage and material handling operations within active waste management facilities.

How Was the Structure Configured?
The building was designed to create a practical balance between protection and accessibility.
Key design features included:
Vinyl Side Walling:
Durable vinyl walling provided weather protection while maintaining a lightweight and adaptable structure system.
Enclosed Gable End:
The enclosed 8m gable end helped contain materials and improve protection from wind and rain exposure.
Open Access Side:
The open 6m side allowed for efficient loading, unloading, and machinery movement throughout the facility.
This configuration was ideal for day-to-day operational access while maintaining covered storage capability.
What Industries Are Similar Structures Used For?
Modular waste and residue storage structures are commonly used for:
Hazardous materials storage
Covered waste bays
Recycling facilities
Resource recovery operations
Environmental works projects
Bulk material handling
Machinery shelters
Temporary industrial storage
These structures are particularly useful for organisations requiring rapid deployment and operational flexibility.
Why Use Modular Structures for Waste & Recycling Operations?
Modular industrial structures offer several operational advantages for waste management and environmental projects, including:
Faster installation than conventional buildings
Minimal disruption to live operational sites
Large clear-span internal space
Flexible layouts for machinery and vehicle movement
Expandable and relocatable systems
Weather protection for stored materials
For waste management facilities, having covered operational space can improve safety, workflow efficiency, and material protection year-round.
