Soilfix successfully remediated our site on time and budget despite an increasing scope of works caused by unforeseen underground tanks and associated contamination


Services
Completed as a crucial part of a remediation contract where programme/cost savings can be obtained through effective phasing, recycling of materials and managing pollution risks.




Toxic waste from previous industrial activities can be left behind, including fuel & chemical residues. Ideally, these will be removed by previous occupants. Where not, they can prove a pricey addition to demolition works and, where handled incorrectly, can worsen contamination problems.
At your brownfield site in Bradford, Soilfix can manage the clearance of waste and chemicals to meet legal requirements and lower environmental risks.




Soilfix personnel are skilled in above and below ground demolition works in Bradford. Combining these works with remediation can reduce costs, maximise beneficial re-use of demolition materials and reduce the risk of environmental impacts.
Previous Bradford demolition projects have included Waste water treatments works, transport depots and service stations. Prior to commencement of any demolition, Soilfix carries out all necessary risk assessments and ensures a good understanding of client requirements and site constraints. Where necessary, Soilfix can also manage the safe removal of asbestos, lead-based paints and other hazardous building materials.




Fuel/chemical tanks and infrastructure need to be removed in a controlled manner by a registered contractor to minimise risks of further corruption. Soilfix ensures that residual liquids are removed to the greatest extent possible and takes steps to render vessels inert before their removal. Impacted soils can often be removed and treated simultaneously.
Under certain scenarios and where risks are acceptable, redundant tanks can be left in situ. Cleaning, degassing and filling vessels with inert material (e.g. concrete slurry, foam or sand) reduces ongoing risks and can be a more cost effective alternative to removal.




Soilfix is committed to providing its clients with the most sustainable use of materials generated on the site. Measures frequently include: Crushing of concrete, brick and tarmac to form engineered fill; Reuse of sub-grade granular materials; Improvement of the geotechnical properties of existing materials; Manufacture of topsoil and subsoil from effected strata; Composting of green waste; and off-site recycling of metalwork. By taking these measures traffic movements are reduced and costs are reduced.
