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 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. Any previous occupants should have removed these. Where not, they can prove a pricey addition to demolition works and, where handled incorrectly, can exacerbate contamination problems.
At your brownfield site in Manchester, Soilfix can manage the clearance of waste and chemicals to meet legal requirements and lower environmental risks.




Soilfix personnel are highly trained in above and below ground demolition works in Manchester. 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 Manchester demolition projects have included transport depots, service stations and waste water treatment works. 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 needed, 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 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 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) dwindles 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 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 subsoil and topsoil from corrupted strata; Composting of green waste; and off-site recycling of metalwork. By taking these measures traffic movements are reduced and costs are reduced.
