Technical Briefing with NLA: Pneumatic Waste Collection: The Hows, Whys, and Everything You Didn’t Know – Lessons from Wembley Park
How do you design waste systems that genuinely match the ambitions of modern, high‑density urban development?
Together with NLA, we offer a technical introduction to pneumatic waste collection, tailored for built environment professionals; architects, engineers, and city planners, who want a stronger foundation in when, why, and how to specify automated waste systems as part of contemporary urban infrastructure.
Using Wembley Park as our primary case study, we will explore:
- The technical principles behind pneumatic waste collection
- Key system components, layout and performance parameters
- Typical design and integration requirements for high‑density, mixed‑use schemes
- Lifecycle impacts, including carbon, operational efficiency, space take, safety and public realm quality, and how these compare to conventional, vehicle‑based systems
A 30‑minute Q&A will give you the opportunity to test scenarios from your own projects, discuss planning and retrofitting challenges, and clarify critical points for future design work. You will leave with a clearer technical understanding of pneumatic waste collection and practical insights you can apply immediately to upcoming schemes.
