BEST CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

Cumberland County Organics Recycling Facility (CCORF)

WINNER

T. N. Ward Company

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The CCORF is designed to produce 38,000 tons of Class A compost annually. The 103,000-square-foot processing building contains 18 240-foot-long bays where raw materials are loaded in one end, turned and advanced automatically by a rail-guided agitator, and removed as finished compost at the other end. The key project requirement was to construct the 8-foot-high concrete bay walls within a 1/16" tolerance in every direction and relative to adjacent bay walls so the agitator can travel unimpeded. The CCORF project concrete construction means and methods will become the standard for future composting facilities.
