Outcome
THE SOLUTION
Following volumetric calculations, we determined that we could accommodate the majority of the contamination on site. Meanwhile, our Manchester Land Remediation services team could recover the relic foundation solutions of pads and ground beams to take place. The relic foundations were then used to re-engineer the ground and provide a construction platform.
The remainder of the contamination, located beneath the proposed warehouse building, was excavated and off-site removed. Our team then constructed a new foundation system as part of the Manchester Land Remediation project before backfilling with inert material in line with current environmental regulations.
Finally, after successful handover to Cruden Construction, the warehouse was built and delivered on time, as per the requirements of their initial tender.
THE BENEFIT
Through our pre-tender discussions, design, and volumetric calculations, we were able to provide an alternative foundation solution that improved our client’s tender figure considerably. Our Manchester Land Remediation services team is dedicated to providing clients with the right financial and environmental solution for their projects. We’re excited to take on more successful projects like this one in the future, with our expertise in construction warehouse site remediation in Manchester.
