Helping a new waste transfer facility meet its environmental requirements
The Westmill (Ware) Waste Transfer Facility in Hertfordshire represents a significant investment by Hertfordshire County Council, with a total project value of approximately £8 million.
The facility is being delivered by Balfour Beatty, in collaboration with RPS Architects/Consultants, over a 24-month period. Completion was scheduled for January 2026.
The challenge
Given the facility’s function, the client required a robust, proven door solution capable of controlling dust, noise, and odour emissions to protect the surrounding environment.

The solution
From the outset, Hart worked collaboratively with other project partners to ensure that all systems would meet the client’s technical and environmental requirements.
Our high-performance Speedor Storm doors are already trusted across other waste management sites, and were therefore selected for their durability, reliability, and superior environmental performance.
We supplied and installed:
- 10 × Speedor Storm high-speed doors
- 1 × insulated shutter door
- 5 × steel pedestrian doors
Each door was fully modelled within the project’s 3D render to validate spatial compatibility and identify potential clashes with complex drainage and service routes.
This proactive approach allowed early detection and resolution of design conflicts, ensuring a seamless installation process on site.
The success
Through close collaboration, detailed planning, and proven product performance, we were able to support the Westmill Waste Transfer Facility achieve its operational and sustainability goals, delivering an efficient, environmentally responsible solution for Hertfordshire County Council.
