Costain contractor cut waste and CO2 on Morfa to Berwick Link Road

The 2.6km long road runs along the low lying marshlands on the western side of the Loughor Estuary connecting the B4304 and A484 highways. In addition to alleviating congestion on the existing road network within Llanelli and providing access to land for future development, it also provides a new access road to the National Wetland Centre and a gateway to the eastern side of the Millennium Coastal Park.

Key points


• Diverting waste from landfill therefore reducing the associated environmental impacts.
• Conservation of natural resources through re-using material rather than importing virgin material.
• Conservation of energy and C02 emissions from reduced transportation and energy associated with quarrying.
• Cost savings of an estimated £150,000 through the use of surplus material rather than virgin material. In addition, disposal costs were saved by diverting the material from landfill.
