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 achieved through efficient phasing, recycling of materials and managing pollution risks.




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 pricey addition to demolition works and, where handled improperly, can aggravate contamination problems.
At your brownfield site in Portsmouth, Soilfix can manage the clearance of waste and chemicals to meet legal requirements and lower environmental risks.




Soilfix personnel are proficient in above and below ground demolition works in Portsmouth. 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 Portsmouth demolition projects have included service stations, waste water treatment works and transport depots. 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 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 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 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) 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 reguarly 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. By taking these measures traffic movements are reduced and costs are reduced.
