Welcome to
Barking Riverside
By making waste collection one of the key environmental stands of Barking Riverside London, we ensure that waste collection will operate sustainably and effectively, reduce carbon emissions, increase the traffic safety aspects and create a clean green and pleasant living environment .
The brief
Located along the banks of the River Thames and covering 443 acres, Barking Riverside – a partnership between The Mayor of London and L&Q – will include 10,800 new homes of mixed size and style, up to 50 per cent of which will be affordable, when the site is fully developed.
Plans to provide 65,000 square metres of commercial floor space for shopping, restaurants, cafés, community and leisure facilities, healthcare
and schools also feature heavily in its overall vision, as well as a brand new train station to increase access to the heart of the capital.
As part of the project’s commitment to placemaking and ensuring that its residents have access to sustainable living space, Barking Riverside commissioned Envac to design and install its pneumatic waste collection system which, on completion in 2031, will be one of Europe’s largest.
