Services
Carried out using effective sustainable, practical and appropriate technique(s), only applied once we have completely understood your objectives and typically following a detailed an in-depth options appraisal.
Understanding the latest remedial technology is not enough for successful delivery of a remediation project. Health & safety, demolition, construction programs, waste management, changing legislation and the clients’ objectives are all crucial elements. Soilfix prides itself on having well-trained staff with the essential skills to deliver complete soil and groundwater services in Coventry.
Soilfix are a specialist soil remediation and groundwater company in Coventry and can take your remediation projects from start to finish, including identification of the remedial requirement through to completion and final verification. Our team of in-house professionals can facilitate all stages of the remedial process, including design, site clearance, demolition, enabling works and regulatory approvals. Soilfix can close the project either as the role of principal contractor or as specialist sub-contractor.
The most feasible and appropriate technology is used for the remediation of soil and groundwater after we have completely understood the goals of our clients.
An increasingly common legacy of former industrial sites is the presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM’s) deposited or dispersed within made ground, leading to asbestos contaminated soils (ACS) present in the ground.
This problem is typically enhanced by poorly managed demolition practices, resulting in ACM fragments becoming spread across the site surface and/or throughout crushed materials. The presence of ACM’s and ACS can lead to significant potential liabilities, programme delays and escalating costs for landowners and developers.
Soilfix have significant experience in adopting pragmatic, robust yet cost-effective solutions for asbestos contaminated sites, fully in compliance with the relevant waste management legislation and Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012. Through accurate planning of pre-treatment and materials management requirements, the volumes of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes removed off-site can be minimised.
Works are carried out by either Soilfix appropriately trained staff under a Notifiable Non-Licensable Works (NNLW) Notification, or, where higher risk ACM’s are encountered, carried out using a licensed Asbestos Contractor. The following cost effective and sustainable remedial measures are routinely carried out by Soilfix:
All Soilfix staff working with asbestos are Non-licensed/Notifiable non-licensed work trained and have regular medicals and respirator face-fitting to ensure compliance with CAR2012.

Our specialist bioremediation service in Coventry and the surrounding areas is carried out by our expert team. Many organic contaminants provide an energy source for naturally occurring micro-organisms existing in the soil (e.g. bacteria). Under the right circumstances, these organisms will degrade organic contaminants to form less toxic and/or more stable materials.
These processes can be enhanced by manipulating the conditions within the soils that enable the relevant micro-organisms to both thrive and interact with the contaminants. The presence of nutrients and available carbon within the soil will provide the basic building blocks for the organisms and can be artificially increased with the application of various bio-nutrient products or fertilisers. Optimising moisture, temperature, pH and oxygen conditions can boost populations and enable maximum interaction with the contaminant.
Biorememediation can be accelerated within ex-situ soils using vented biopiles or windrow technology. Bio-venting, sparging or permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) can be used to accelerate the process in-situ.
Soilfix can design and build the systems that will enable you to achieve maximum rates of bioremediation at your site. Where more complex contaminant situations, gross start concentrations or biomass limited situations occur, Soilfix has experience in bio-augmentation using both specially cultured and indigenous biomass to increase the treatment process.
Stabilisation / Solidification of soils is increasingly a cost effective technology for the rapid treatment and / or immobilization of hazardous wastes and contaminated soils or sludge’s. The terms “solidification” and “stabilization” describe two distinct mechanisms.
Prior to commencing, samples of the corrupt material are taken and laboratory pilot trials carried out to determine the most cost effective reagent or combination of reagents to achieve the site remedial targets. Binding agents are then applied and the soils rotivated either in-situ (e.g. auger, injection, rotivator) or ex-situ (e.g. batching plant, blending equipment). Performance testing of the treated materials is usually completed throughout the works. This may involve testing for hydraulic conductivity, unconfined compressive strength, and leachate properties, depending on the requirements.
Speak to us today for more information about soil stabilisation / solidification in Coventry.
Soilfix has extensive experience in adopting a large variety of both conventional and more innovative in-situ / ex-situ groundwater treatment technologies in Coventry to meet site specific remedial goals and / or enable excavation and extraction of in-ground obstructions.
Additionally, Soilfix has expertise performing thermally enhanced treatment with both steam and electric conductive heating with the help of qualified partners.
