Services
Carried out using the most sustainable, practical and appropriate technique(s), only applied once we have fully understood your objectives and typically following a comprehensive 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 crucial elements. Soilfix prides itself on having well-trained staff with the essential skills to deliver complete soil and groundwater services in Wolverhampton.
Soilfix are a specialist soil remediation and groundwater company in Wolverhampton and can take your remediation projects all the way through, from identification of the remedial requirement through to completion and final verification. Our team of in-house professionals 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.
Remediation of soil and groundwater in Wolverhampton is carried out using the most practical and appropriate techniques that are only applied once we have fully understood our clients’ objectives.
An increasingly common legacy of former industrial sites is the presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM’s) deposited or dispersed within made ground, resulting in asbestos contaminated soils (ACS) present in the ground.
This concern is often 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 landowners and developers.
Soilfix has significant experience in adopting pragmatic, robust yet cost-effective solutions for asbestos contaminated sites, fully in compliance with control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012 and relevant waste management legislation. Through meticulous 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 carried out by either Soilfix properly skilled personnel 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:
All Soilfix staff working with asbestos are Non-licensed/Notifiable non-licensed work trained and have regular medicals and respirator face-fitting to ensure compliance with CAR2012.

Our specialist bioremediation service in Wolverhampton and the surrounding areas is carried out by our expert team. Various organic contaminants provide an energy source for naturally occurring micro-organisms present within the soil (e.g. bacteria). Under the right circumstances, these organisms will degrade organic contaminants to form less toxic and/or more stable materials.
These processes can be excelled by manipulating the conditions within the soils that enable the relevant micro-organisms to both thrive and interact with the contaminants. The soil’s availability of carbon and nutrient content within the soil will provide the foundations for the organisms and can be artificially increased with the application of various bio-nutrient products or fertilisers. Optimising pH, temperature, moisture and oxygen conditions can boost populations and enable maximum interaction with the contaminant.
Ex-situ soils can use vented biopiles or windrow technologies to speed up bioremediation. Bio-venting, sparging or permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) can be used to accelerate the process in-situ.
Soilfix can design and build the systems that will enable you to achieve maximum rates of bioremediation at your site. 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 intensify 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 distinct mechanisms.
Prior to beginning the work, samples of the corrupt material are taken and laboratory pilot trials carried out to determine 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.

Soilfix has significant experience in adopting a large variety of both conventional and more innovative in-situ / ex-situ groundwater treatment technologies in Wolverhampton to meet site specific remedial objectives and / or enable excavation and removal of in-ground obstructions.
Soilfix also has experience in carrying out thermally-enhanced treatment using both steam and electric conductive heating using specialist partners.
