Ground Improvement, Soil Stabilisation and Remediation

Project Description:

We are unable to give specific detail or a location for this project because it is pivotal for the effective and imminent completion of a major land deal

Existing Ground Conditions:

Three thousand cubic metres of the existing ground has been classified as special waste by the geotechnical consultant. The contaminants include heavy metals and hydrocarbons.

Product:

The Special Waste was pre-treated by the mixing of a binder into the raw material transforming it into the industrial non-hazardous category and subsequently transporting it to a waste facility which was much closer to the site. The cost of dumping the Special Waste was £250 per cubic metre and the combined cost of pre-treating (similar to Envirolock) and disposing of the material as Industrial Non-hazardous amounted to £110, thus yielding a net saving of £140 per cubic metre (£420,000). This effectively assisted markedly in raising the project cost profile above the viability threshold.

Benefits Accrued as a direct result of the incorporation of Envirosoil Products in the Works:

• Cost Savings in the region of £140 per cu m which in this context equated to 55%.


• Assured quality as a result of Envirosoil’s strict and independent testing regime.


• Reduction in the amount of Special Waste disposal space required which is fast becoming a scarce resource.
