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 obtained through efficient phasing, recycling of materials and managing pollution risks.
Site Clearances Cardiff
Former industrial activities can leave behind a legacy of toxic waste including fuel & chemical residues. Ideally, these will be removed by previous occupants. Where not, they can prove a pricey addition to demolition works and, where handled inaccurately, can worsen contamination problems.
Soilfix can manage waste/chemical clearance at your brownfield site in Cardiff to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and reduce risks to the environment.
Dismantling and Demolition Cardiff
Soilfix personnel are skilled in above and below ground demolition works in Cardiff. Combining these works with remediation can reduce costs, maximise beneficial re-use of demolition materials and reduce the risk of environmental impacts.
Previous Cardiff demolition projects have included transport depots, service stations and waste water treatment works. 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 asbestos, lead-based paints and other hazardous building materials.
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 contamination. Soilfix ensure residual liquids are removed as far as practicable and vessels rendered inert prior to 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 Cardiff
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 subsoil and topsoil from contaminated strata; Composting of green waste; and off-site recycling of metalwork. By taking these measures traffic movements are reduced and costs are reduced.
