What I enjoyed most about working with AUSPAN was the responsiveness, [and] the depth of knowledge of the staff. They’re a very good team to work with and so the overall experience was fantastic as a result.
Building type: Process Plant
Building size: 4,000m²
Sliding doors: 2 x 13m-high sliding doors
Delivery model: Design & Construct
Date: 2023
As Nexus Recycling continued to grow, Todd needed additional processing and storage capacity while maintaining safe, efficient workflows within a constrained site.
The specialised nature of the battery recycling facility created additional approval requirements, while limited available land and a significant site gradient added complexity to the design and construction process. Delivery was further impacted by COVID-19, with the Nexus management team based on the east coast.
Key requirements included:
Working closely with Nexus Recycling, AUSPAN developed 3D concept drawings to clearly communicate the proposed solution before progressing to construction. The design maximised the available space, with retaining walls enabling the facility to extend close to the boundary.
Specialised civil works, including concrete plinths, bunded areas, lead containment and fire prevention features, were incorporated to support the recycling process. Two 13m-high sliding doors create 20m-wide openings, improving machinery access and manoeuvrability throughout the facility. Delivered by AUSPAN’s local WA teams, the project was managed from design through to completion.
Key features:
The completed facilities provide Nexus Recycling with increased capacity and purpose-built infrastructure to support more efficient processing, machinery movement and day-to-day workflows.
Specialised safety and containment features are integrated with durable construction and improved access, creating a practical facility designed around the specific requirements of the recycling operation.
For Todd, the project represents a long-term investment in the capability and future growth of Nexus Recycling, providing the infrastructure required to support the business as it continues to expand.
