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 effective phasing, recycling of materials and managing pollution risks.
Site Clearances Reading
Toxic waste from previous industrial activities can be left behind, including chemical & fuel residues. Ideally, these will be removed by previous occupants. Where not, they can prove a pricey addition to demolition works and, where handled inaccurately, can aggravate contamination problems.
Soilfix can manage waste/chemical clearance at your brownfield site in Reading to ensure compliance with legislative requirements and reduce risks to the environment.
Dismantling and Demolition Reading
Soilfix personnel are proficient in above and below ground demolition works in Reading. 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 Reading 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 necessary, Soilfix can also manage the safe removal of asbestos, lead-based paints and other hazardous building materials.
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 contagion. 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) minimises ongoing risks and can be a cheaper alternative to removal.
Materials Recycling Reading
Soilfix is devoted 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; Enhancement 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. By taking these measures traffic movements are reduced and costs are reduced.
