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 effective phasing, recycling of materials and managing pollution risks.
Site Clearances Oxford
Former industrial activities can leave behind a legacy of toxic waste 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 incorrectly, can aggravate contamination problems.
Soilfix can manage waste/chemical clearance at your brownfield site in Oxford to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and reduce risks to the environment.
Dismantling and Demolition Oxford
Soilfix personnel are highly trained in above and below ground demolition works in Oxford. 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 Oxford demolition projects have included transport depots, waste water treatment works and service stations. 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 lead-based paints, asbestos and other hazardous building materials.
Tank Removal / Treatment
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 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) minimises ongoing risks and can be a low-cost alternative to removal.
Materials Recycling Oxford
Soilfix is committed 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; Enhancement 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.
