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 Ipswich
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 costly addition to demolition works and, where handled incorrectly, can worsen contamination problems.
At your brownfield site in Ipswich, Soilfix can manage the clearance of waste and chemicals to meet legal requirements and lower environmental risks.
Dismantling and Demolition Ipswich
Soilfix personnel are proficient in above and below ground demolition works in Ipswich. Combining these works with remediation can reduce costs, maximise beneficial re-use of demolition materials and reduce the risk of environmental impacts.
Previous Ipswich demolition projects have included service stations, transport depots 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 needed, Soilfix can also manage the safe removal of hazardous building materials such as asbestos and lead-based paints.
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 corruption. 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 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) minimises ongoing risks and can be a more cost effective alternative to removal.
Materials Recycling Ipswich
Soilfix is committed 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; Enhancement of the geotechnical properties of existing materials; Manufacture of topsoil and subsoil from corrupted strata; Composting of green waste; and off-site recycling of metalwork. These operations decrease traffic movements and reduce build costs.
