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 a crucial part of a remediation contract where programme/cost savings can be achieved through efficient phasing, recycling of materials and managing pollution risks.
Site Clearances Norwich
Former industrial activities can leave behind a legacy of toxic waste including chemical & fuel residues. Ideally, these will be removed by previous occupants. Where not, they can prove a costly addition to demolition works and, where handled incorrectly, can worsen contamination problems.
Soilfix can manage waste/chemical clearance at your brownfield site in Norwich to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and reduce risks to the environment.
Dismantling and Demolition Norwich
Soilfix personnel are skilled in above and below ground demolition works in Norwich. Combining these works with remediation can reduce costs, maximise beneficial re-use of demolition materials and reduce the risk of environmental impacts.
Previous Norwich demolition projects have included service stations, transport depots 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 required, Soilfix can also manage the safe removal of hazardous building materials including lead-based paints and asbestos.
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 contamination. Soilfix ensure residual liquids are removed as far as practicable and vessels rendered inert prior to 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) weakens ongoing risks and can be a low-cost alternative to removal.
Materials Recycling Norwich
Soilfix is dedicated 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 contaminated strata; Composting of green waste; and off-site recycling of metalwork. These operations decrease traffic movements and reduce build costs.
