The last 12 months has seen the completion of Robert Long Consultancy’s third year of working for the Waste Recycling Group/May Gurney partnership in the capacity of Engineering Consultants.  The contract has been primarily managed from the St Ives office, with the award of the contract coinciding with the opening of the Cambridgeshire office in 1998.  During the last three years RLCL have worked on 19 different landfill sites for the partnership in Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cheshire.  The scope of works undertaken by RLCL for the partnership has included Engineering Design and Specification preparation, Construction Quality Assurance (CQA), Surface Water Management design, Health and Safety Plan preparation, negotiation with the Environment Agency and the preparation of CQA reports for the works. 

During the three year contract period key staff members from RLCL have established and developed good working relations with Waste Recycling Group, May Gurney and the Environment Agency staff.  RLCL have been commended on their flexibility, speed of response and working relations by the partnership and we look forward to improving and refining our systems to ensure continued client satisfaction. 

Peter Foreman, Engineering Manager for May Gurney/WRG Partnership says “Our partnership with WRG has always benefited from the energy and landfill knowledge provided by Jon Clark and his team from RLCL.  There have been numerous occasions when last minute design changes have strained the most professional of characters!”
