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 Leicester
Former industrial activities can leave behind a legacy of toxic waste including fuel & chemical residues. Any previous occupants should have removed these. Where not, they can prove a pricey addition to demolition works and, where handled improperly, can exacerbate contamination problems.
At your brownfield site in Leicester, Soilfix can manage the clearance of waste and chemicals to meet legal requirements and lower environmental risks.
Dismantling and Demolition Leicester
Soilfix personnel are highly trained in above and below ground demolition works in Leicester. By utilising a mixture of these services you have the opportunity to reduce project costs and maximise the re-use of demolition materials reducing environmental damage.
Previous Leicester demolition projects have included service stations, transport depots and waste water treatment works. 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 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 qualified contractor to minimise risks of further contagion. 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 cheaper alternative to removal.
Materials Recycling Leicester
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; Enhancement 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.
