Award: Sanitation and waste management
Winner: Thiess Services Middle East
Thiess Services Middle East (TSME) showed that it was a deserved winner at the FmME awards 2010 by demonstrating that it has showcased innovative solutions and services for the critical area of sanitation and waste management. The company has also implemented waste strategies across the UAE since it was established in the UAE in 2008.
Specifically, TSME has successfully recycled more than 25,000 tonnes of material destined for landfill. All construction and demolition waste is taken to the TSME Material Recovery Facility where wood, metal, plastic, cardboard/paper are extracted. Remaining materials are then transferred to its crushing operation where aggregate is produced to engineering specifications for re-use in construction projects.
The company said in its online submission that its facility delivers the following environmental benefits; reduced haulage miles, reduced environmental impacts associated with aggregate production and reduced fly tipping. TSME has also implemented office recycling schemes for clients, ensuring resources, such as plastic, paper, glass and cans are recycled.

WINNER: comment
We’re very small, but very aggressive in our approach but we couldn’t have established ourselves any other way. It [the award] shows that hard work, dedication and loyalty pays off.
