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 Plymouth
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 costly addition to demolition works and, where handled inaccurately, can worsen contamination problems.
At your brownfield site in Plymouth, Soilfix can manage the clearance of waste and chemicals to meet legal requirements and lower environmental risks.
Dismantling and Demolition Plymouth
Soilfix personnel are competent in above and below ground demolition works in Plymouth. Combining these works with remediation can reduce costs, maximise beneficial re-use of demolition materials and reduce the risk of environmental impacts.
Previous Plymouth demolition projects have included service stations, waste water treatment works and transport depots. 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 necessary, 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 competent contractor to minimise risks of further corruption. Soilfix takes measures to effectively remove residual liquids and renders vessels inert before their removal. Impacted soils can often be removed and treated 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) dwindles ongoing risks and can be a cheaper alternative to removal.
Materials Recycling Plymouth
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 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.
