Recycling and Reuse of Materials from East Kilbride Centre West Demolition

South Lanarkshire Council is progressing the East Kilbride Masterplan, which includes redevelopment of the Centre West site (G74 1LL). This project will create a new town centre neighbourhood, high‑quality public realm, and a new Civic Hub building. The appointed demolition contractor for Centre West is currently on site undertaking demolition and deconstruction activities. As part of their contract, they are responsible for segregating and storing materials on‑site for future repurposing into terrazzo tiles. Under this procurement, the appointed organisation will be required to uplift, transport, repurpose, and securely store these materials off‑site. Materials identified for repurposing include terrazzo flooring sections (maximum size 700 x 700 mm), large‑format glazing, terracotta panels, and metal mesh. These materials are intended to be crushed and incorporated into new terrazzo tiles, supporting the Council’s circular economy objectives. The anticipated scope of services includes: 1 - Uplift, transportation, sorting, and secure off‑site storage of reclaimed materials to support future manufacturing of new tiling products. 2 - Removal and preparation of specified items for direct repurposing within the Civic Hub and public realm components of the Masterplan. Construction of the new Civic Hub is expected to commence in 2027, with completion scheduled for 2029. Further information on the wider East Kilbride Masterplan is available at www.ekfuture.co.uk.
