Entec and Webaspx have successfully worked with Project Integra, a partnership of the fifteen parties (including waste collection, disposal authorities and Veolia), to evaluate the potential logistic benefits of joint working waste collection schemes in Hampshire. 

The resulting tactical joint working models developed by Entec and Webaspx identified substantial potential savings of nearly a quarter of a million miles per annum, 235,000 kg of CO2 and six vehicle equivalents (including drivers and loaders). The potential cashable logistic savings are in the region of £1 million per annum.

Entec and Webaspx developed models of existing collection rounds for the six partner authorities (Basingstoke and Deane, East Hampshire, Hart, Havant, Portsmouth and Winchester) by capturing round information using the award winning RoundManagerWM software and expertise from over 70 similar projects. This enabled early engagement of operational staff and ensured that the models were grounded in reality.

The results of the logistics study have informed Integra’s business case and the next phase of work will be expanded to include additional authorities and waste collection services. Integra has already reappointed Entec and Webaspx to help define and deliver this next phase with potential for further savings to those already identified.

Peter Headley-Smith at Integra said: “We are delighted with the work by Entec and Webaspx. The savings identified have generated a momentum towards joint working being a reality.”

Notes to Editors

  • The initial joint working scenario modelled included the resources of all six partners with a standardised set of design rules, underpinned by the data derived from the individual authority ‘As Is’ models. In the subsequent scenario the impact of depot rationalisation was tested, with two sites removed from the available depot resource to which vehicles could be assigned. The potential logistics savings were slightly reduced in this model although the potential closure of the two depots does in itself provide additional potential savings of up to £250k per annum.
