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 effective phasing, recycling of materials and managing pollution risks.
Site Clearances Essex
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 Essex, Soilfix can manage the clearance of waste and chemicals to meet legal requirements and lower environmental risks.
Dismantling and Demolition Essex
Soilfix personnel are highly trained in above and below ground demolition works in Essex. Combining these works with remediation can reduce costs, maximise beneficial re-use of demolition materials and reduce the risk of environmental impacts.
Previous Essex demolition projects have included transport depots, waste water treatment works and service stations. 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 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 takes measures to effectively remove residual liquids and renders 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) dwindles ongoing risks and can be a low-cost alternative to removal.
Materials Recycling Essex
Soilfix is dedicated to providing its clients with the most sustainable use of materials generated on the site. Measures generally 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 subsoil and topsoil from corrupted strata; Composting of green waste; and off-site recycling of metalwork. These operations decrease traffic movements and reduce build costs.
