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 efficient phasing, recycling of materials and managing pollution risks.




Toxic waste from previous industrial activities can be left behind, 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 inaccurately, can worsen contamination problems.
Soilfix can manage waste/chemical clearance at your brownfield site in Northampton to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and reduce risks to the environment.




Soilfix personnel are skilled in above and below ground demolition works in Northampton. 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 Northampton demolition projects have included service stations, waste water treatment works and transport depots. 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 hazardous building materials such as asbestos and lead-based paints.




Fuel/chemical tanks and infrastructure need to be removed in a controlled manner by a registered contractor to minimise risks of further contamination. 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 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) minimises ongoing risks and can be a cheaper alternative to removal.




Soilfix is devoted 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; Enhancement of the geotechnical properties of existing materials; Manufacture of subsoil and topsoil from contaminated strata; Composting of green waste; and off-site recycling of metalwork. These operations decrease traffic movements and reduce build costs.
