Services
Carried out using effective practical, sustainable and appropriate technique(s), only applied once we have fully understood your objectives and generally following a comprehensive 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 personnel with the necessary skills to deliver complete soil and groundwater services in Nottingham.
Soilfix are a specialist soil remediation and groundwater company in Nottingham 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 finalise the works either as the role of principal contractor or as specialist sub-contractor.
Remediation of soil and groundwater in Nottingham is carried out using the most practical and appropriate techniques that are only applied once we have fully understood our clients’ objectives.
The presence of asbestos is becoming more prevalent in former industrial sites, which contains materials (ACM’s) deposited or dispersed within made ground, resulting in asbestos contaminated soils (ACS) present in the ground.
This concern is usually 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 result in significant potential liabilities, programme delays and growing costs for landowners and developers.
Soilfix have a vast amount of 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 meticulous planning of pre-treatment and materials management requirements, the volumes of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes removed off-site can be minimised.
Works are either carried out by Soilfix employees with the necessary training 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:
To guarantee compliance with CAR2012, all Soilfix employees who operate with asbestos are trained in Non-licensed/Notifiable non-licenced work are fully qualified, have routine medical exams, and have their respirator face-fitted.

Our specialist bioremediation service in Nottingham and the surrounding areas is carried out by our expert team. Numerous organic pollutants provide an energy source for naturally occurring micro-organisms present within the soil (e.g. bacteria). Under the right environment, these organisms will degrade organic contaminants to form less toxic and/or more stable materials.
These processes can be excelled by altering the conditions within the soils that enable the relevant micro-organisms to both interact and thrive with the contaminants. The presence of nutrients and available carbon within the soil will provide the foundations for the organisms and can be artificially increased with the application of various bio-nutrient products or fertilisers. Optimising pH, temperature, moisture 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.
To obtain the highest rates of bioremediation at your location, Soilfix can design and construct the systems necessary. 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 intensify the treatment process.
A increasingly affordable technology for the quick treatment and/or immobilisation of hazardous wastes and polluted soils or sludge is soil stabilisation or solidification. The terms “solidification” and “stabilization” describe two distinct mechanisms.
Prior to commencing the works, samples of the contaminated 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. According to the specifications, testing on hydraulic conductivity, unconfined compressive strength, and leachate characteristics may be included.
Speak to us today for more information about soil stabilisation / solidification in Nottingham.
Soilfix has a great amount of experience in adopting a wide variety of both conventional and more innovative in-situ / ex-situ groundwater treatment technologies in Nottingham to meet site specific remedial objectives and / or enable excavation and removal of in-ground obstructions.
With the help of qualified partners, Soilfix has also performed thermally enhanced treatment utilising both steam and electric conductive heating.
