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 obtained through efficient phasing, recycling of materials and managing pollution risks.
Site Clearances Cheltenham
Toxic waste from previous industrial activities can be left behind, including chemical & fuel residues. In an ideal world this would have been cleared by previous occupants. Where not, they can prove a pricey addition to demolition works and, where handled incorrectly, can aggravate contamination problems.
Soilfix can manage waste/chemical clearance at your brownfield site in Cheltenham to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and reduce risks to the environment.
Dismantling and Demolition Cheltenham
Soilfix personnel are skilled in above and below ground demolition works in Cheltenham. By utilising a mixture of these services you have the opportunity to reduce project costs and maximise the re-use of demolition materials reducing environmental damage.
Previous Cheltenham demolition projects have included transport depots, waste water treatment works and service stations. Soilfix undertakes thorough risk assessments and strives to gain a comprehensive understanding of client requirements and site constraints prior to commencing any demolition work. Where required, Soilfix can also manage the safe removal of hazardous building materials including lead-based paints and asbestos.
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 simultaneously.
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) weakens ongoing risks and can be a cheaper alternative to removal.
Materials Recycling Cheltenham
Soilfix is dedicated to providing its clients with the most sustainable use of materials generated on the site. Measures frequently 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 effected strata; Composting of green waste; and off-site recycling of metalwork. These operations decrease traffic movements and reduce build costs.
