5361- Kilmainhamwood Compost Facility Extension- EIS
If necessary the weighbridge may also be used to record details of construction materials required for
the proposed development of the facility extensions.
2.3.2 Site Security
Site security arrangements to prevent unauthorised access at the facility include the following:
• Secure composting building involving mass concrete walls and lockable steel doors;
• Fencing around the entire boundary of the composting facility;
• A 2.4m high by 7m wide lockable gate that is closed outside normal operating times, located at the
site entrance at the R162;
• A 2.4m high by 7m wide lockable gate that is closed outside normal operating times, located at the
inner facility entrance;
• The site access at the R162 includes stonewalls and pillars;
• Stock proof fencing;
In addition to the above, site signage indicating opening times and contact details is maintained at the
site entrance. All visitors to the site are required to sign in and out at the site office. The site security
infrastructure is checked daily and any damage is immediately temporarily repaired with any additional
permanent repair executed within 48 hours of discovery.
2.3.3 Site Accommodation
Presently, office and employee welfare accommodation of a temporary nature is provided at the
Kilmainhamwood Compost facility in the form of portacabins. As part of the current application, it is
proposed to construct a facility administration building as shown on Drawing No. 5281-2402 and
Drawing No. 5281-2405 and described in Section 2.2.
2.3.4 Site Road
For inspection purposes only.
Consent of copyright owner required for any other use.
As part of the development of the existing facility, a 5m wide road of approximately 0.85km in length
was constructed parallel to the original passage/driveway (and on the opposite side of the earthen bank
which is topped with shrubs and some mature trees) to facilitate the movement of biowaste delivery
vehicles from the R162 regional road to the composting facility. As this road approaches the R162
regional road it diverges (to the south) away from the original passage/driveway so as to provide
adequate visibility on both sides of the site entrance.
This is an unpaved road consisting of approximately 300mm of granular material such as recovered
construction and demolition waste on rockfill to suitable formation.
