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.




Toxic waste from previous industrial activities can be left behind, including fuel & chemical residues. In an ideal world this would have been cleared by previous occupants. Where not, they can prove a costly addition to demolition works and, where handled inaccurately, can exacerbate contamination problems.
Soilfix can manage waste/chemical clearance at your brownfield site in Worcester to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and reduce risks to the environment.




Soilfix personnel are proficient in above and below ground demolition works in Worcester. Combining these works with remediation can reduce costs, maximise beneficial re-use of demolition materials and reduce the risk of environmental impacts.
Previous Worcester 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 necessary, Soilfix can also manage the safe removal of hazardous building materials including lead-based paints and asbestos.




Fuel/chemical tanks and infrastructure need to be removed in a controlled manner by a registered 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 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.




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 topsoil and subsoil from corrupted strata; Composting of green waste; and off-site recycling of metalwork. These operations decrease traffic movements and reduce build costs.
