ENSO is a medium‑density residential development delivered by Credence Constructions on Sydney’s Lower North Shore. Located within an established urban precinct close to transport links and village retail, the project required a reliable and compliant waste management solution capable of supporting daily residential use while maintaining safety, hygiene, and long‑term building performance.
To meet these requirements, Elephants Foot Chute Solutions supplied and installed a centralised waste chute system designed to provide efficient vertical waste transfer within a compact building footprint.
The system incorporates 510mm galvanised steel chute pipes servicing ground level through Level 3. The straight‑through chute configuration minimises transfer points, reducing the risk of blockages and simplifying long‑term maintenance.
Fire‑rated, self‑closing waste chute intake doors are installed on all active levels, with upgraded smoke seals to improve fire and smoke separation performance. Clear signage at each intake supports correct resident use and reduces misuse.
At the top of the chute, a dedicated odour relief vent and wash‑down cleaning system provides continuous airflow and automated internal cleaning, assisting with odour control and maintaining hygiene over the life of the system.
At lower‑ground level, waste is discharged via a Type A discharge system with a minor offset into a 240L mobile garbage bin. This configuration integrates seamlessly with the building’s residential waste management system, delivering a practical, low‑maintenance solution well suited to medium‑density residential living in Neutral Bay.
