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 efficient phasing, recycling of materials and managing pollution risks.




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 incorrectly, can exacerbate contamination problems.
Soilfix can manage waste/chemical clearance at your brownfield site in Hull to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and reduce risks to the environment.




Soilfix personnel are competent in above and below ground demolition works in Hull. 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 Hull 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 asbestos, lead-based paints and other hazardous building materials.




Fuel/chemical tanks and infrastructure need to be removed in a controlled manner by a qualified contractor to minimise risks of further contagion. Soilfix ensures that residual liquids are removed to the greatest extent possible and takes steps to render 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) minimises ongoing risks and can be a more cost effective alternative to removal.




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. By taking these measures traffic movements are reduced and costs are reduced.
