Services
Carried out using the most practical, sustainable and appropriate technique(s), only applied once we have fully understood your objectives and typically following a detailed an in-depth options appraisal.
Understanding the latest remedial technology is not enough for successful delivery of a remediation project. Health & safety, demolition, construction programs, waste management, changing legislation and the clients’ objectives are all important factors. Soilfix prides itself on having skilled staff with the essential skills to deliver complete soil and groundwater services in Warrington.
Soilfix are a specialist soil remediation and groundwater company in Warrington who can manage your remediation projects from identification of the remedial requirement through to completion and final verification. Our group of internal experts can facilitate all stages of the remedial process, including design, site clearance, demolition, enabling works and regulatory approvals. Soilfix can finish the project either as the role of principal contractor or as specialist sub-contractor.
The most feasible and appropriate technology is used for the remediation of soil and groundwater after we have completely understood the goals of our clients.
The presence of asbestos is becoming more prevalent in former industrial sites, which contains materials (ACM’s) deposited or dispersed within made ground, resulting in asbestos contaminated soils (ACS) present in the ground.
This problem is usually exacerbated by poorly controlled demolition practices, resulting in ACM fragments becoming spread across the site surface and/or throughout crushed materials. The presence of ACM’s and ACS can lead to significant potential liabilities, programme delays and growing costs for developers and landowners.
Soilfix has a vast amount of experience in adopting pragmatic, robust yet cost-effective solutions for asbestos contaminated sites, fully in compliance with the relevant waste management legislation and Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012. Through accurate planning of pre-treatment and materials management requirements, the volumes of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes removed off-site can be minimised.
All asbestos removal works are either carried out by Soilfix appropriately trained staff under a Notifiable Non-Licensable Works (NNLW) Notification, or, where higher risk ACM’s are encountered, carried out using a licensed Asbestos Contractor. The following cost effective and sustainable remedial measures are routinely carried out by Soilfix:
To guarantee compliance with CAR2012, all Soilfix employees who operate with asbestos are trained in Non-licensed/Notifiable non-licenced work are fully qualified, have routine medical exams, and have their respirator face-fitted.

Our specialist bioremediation service in Warrington and the surrounding areas is carried out by our expert team. Various organic pollutants provide an energy source for naturally occurring micro-organisms present within the soil (e.g. bacteria). Under the right environment, these organisms will degrade organic contaminants to form less toxic and/or more stable materials.
These processes can be enhanced by altering the conditions within the soils that enable the relevant micro-organisms to both interact and thrive with the contaminants. The presence of nutrients and available carbon within the soil will provide the groundwork for the organisms and can be artificially increased with the application of various fertilisers or bio-nutrient products. Optimising pH, temperature, moisture and oxygen conditions can boost populations and enable maximum interaction with the contaminant.
Biorememediation can be accelerated within ex-situ soils using vented biopiles or windrow technology. Bio-venting, sparging or permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) can be used to accelerate the process in-situ.
The solutions that will allow you to achieve the highest rates of bioremediation at your site can be designed and built by Soilfix. Where more complex contaminant situations, gross start concentrations or biomass limited situations occur, Soilfix has experience in bio-augmentation using both specially cultured and indigenous biomass to increase the treatment process.
Stabilisation / Solidification of soils is increasingly a cost effective technology for the rapid treatment and / or immobilization of hazardous wastes and contaminated soils or sludge’s. The terms “solidification” and “stabilization” describe two specific mechanisms.
Prior to commencing, samples of the contaminated material are taken and laboratory pilot trials carried out to calculate the most cost effective reagent or combination of reagents to achieve the site remedial targets. Binding agents are then applied and the soils rotivated either in-situ (e.g. auger, injection, rotivator) or ex-situ (e.g. batching plant, blending equipment). Performance testing of the treated materials is usually completed throughout the works. According to the specifications, testing on hydraulic conductivity, unconfined compressive strength, and leachate characteristics may be included.
Speak to us today for more information about soil stabilisation / solidification in Warrington.
Soilfix has extensive experience in adopting a wide variety of both conventional and more innovative in-situ / ex-situ groundwater treatment technologies in Warrington to meet site specific remedial goals and / or enable excavation and removal of in-ground obstructions.
With the help of qualified partners, Soilfix has also performed thermally enhanced treatment utilising both steam and electric conductive heating.
