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 an integral part of a remediation contract where programme/cost savings can be achieved through effective phasing, recycling of materials and managing pollution risks.
Site Clearances Cambridge
Former industrial activities can leave behind a legacy of toxic waste including chemical & fuel residues. Any previous occupants should have removed these. Where not, they can prove a pricey addition to demolition works and, where handled incorrectly, can aggravate contamination problems.
Soilfix can manage waste/chemical clearance at your brownfield site in Cambridge to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and reduce risks to the environment.
Dismantling and Demolition Cambridge
Soilfix personnel are skilled in above and below ground demolition works in Cambridge. Combining these works with remediation can reduce costs, maximise beneficial re-use of demolition materials and reduce the risk of environmental impacts.
Previous Cambridge demolition projects have included transport depots, service stations and waste water treatment works. Before initiating any demolition activities, Soilfix conducts comprehensive risk assessments and ensures a clear understanding of client specifications and site limitations. Where needed, Soilfix can also manage the safe removal of asbestos, lead-based paints and other hazardous building materials.
Tank Removal / Treatment
Fuel/chemical tanks and infrastructure need to be removed in a controlled manner by a registered contractor to minimise risks of further corruption. Soilfix ensure residual liquids are removed as far as practicable and vessels rendered inert prior to removal. Impacted soils can often be treated and removed 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) weakens ongoing risks and can be a cheaper alternative to removal.
Materials Recycling Cambridge
Soilfix is committed to providing its clients with the most sustainable use of materials generated on the site. Measures reguarly 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 corrupted strata; Composting of green waste; and off-site recycling of metalwork. These operations decrease traffic movements and reduce build costs.
