Supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals



Momentum was mandated by McGill University to prepare a logistics and waste management study for the Neuro Hospital and the Lyman-Duff Pavilion. The primary objective of the study was to identify potential solutions for relocating the waste management compactors, currently located in the Royal-Victoria Hospital, which will be inaccessible due to the ongoing renovation work for the Royal-Vic project.
The work began with a phase of stakeholder consultation to identify the current logistics processes of each stakeholder and their waste and logistics needs. This information was used to assess the usage of current logistics areas and to evaluate the potential increase in activity at each area. Additionally, vehicle tracking analysis was employed to determine the largest vehicle that can access each area and identify issues with the current site characteristics. A key element studied was the volume of different types of waste generated by the complex and how this is currently managed internally by the university.
Three potential solutions for waste management were proposed, along with a complementary solution for logistics to improve efficiency. These solutions suggested significant changes to the current logistics in terms of frequency, compactor sizes, and the size of collection vehicles, which required further exploration with contractors.
The results of the analysis informed the client about the complexity of their waste and logistics operations and provided actionable solutions to be implemented in the short term once the current logistics zone of the hospital becomes inaccessible.
