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 Luton
Former industrial activities can leave behind a legacy of toxic waste including chemical & fuel residues. In an ideal world this would have been cleared by previous occupants. Where not, they can prove a costly addition to demolition works and, where handled incorrectly, can worsen contamination problems.
Soilfix can manage waste/chemical clearance at your brownfield site in Luton to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and reduce risks to the environment.
Dismantling and Demolition Luton
Soilfix personnel are proficient in above and below ground demolition works in Luton. Combining these works with remediation can reduce costs, maximise beneficial re-use of demolition materials and reduce the risk of environmental impacts.
Previous Luton demolition projects have included transport depots, waste water treatment works and service stations. Prior to commencement of any demolition, Soilfix carries out all necessary risk assessments and ensures a good understanding of client requirements and site constraints. Where required, Soilfix can also manage the safe removal of lead-based paints, asbestos and other hazardous building materials.
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 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 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 low-cost alternative to removal.
Materials Recycling Luton
Soilfix is dedicated 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 topsoil and subsoil from contaminated strata; Composting of green waste; and off-site recycling of metalwork. These operations decrease traffic movements and reduce build costs.
