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 efficient phasing, recycling of materials and managing pollution risks.
Site Clearances Derby
Former industrial activities can leave behind a legacy of toxic waste including fuel & chemical residues. In an ideal world this would have been cleared by previous occupants. Where not, they can prove a pricey addition to demolition works and, where handled improperly, can exacerbate contamination problems.
At your brownfield site in Derby, Soilfix can manage the clearance of waste and chemicals to meet legal requirements and lower environmental risks.
Dismantling and Demolition Derby
Soilfix personnel are highly trained in above and below ground demolition works in Derby. Combining these works with remediation can reduce costs, maximise beneficial re-use of demolition materials and reduce the risk of environmental impacts.
Previous Derby demolition projects have included transport depots, waste water treatment works and service stations. Soilfix undertakes thorough risk assessments and strives to gain a comprehensive understanding of client requirements and site constraints prior to commencing any demolition work. Where required, 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 qualified 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 together.
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 Derby
Soilfix is devoted to providing its clients with the most sustainable use of materials generated on the site. Measures often 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.
