The works comprised the following:

  • Removal of existing heavily reinforced concrete hardstands.
  • Excavation across the entire site of existing made grounds ca.3.2m.
  • Segregation and removal of expansive “Steel Slag”.
  • Removal of relic foundations and redundant piles.
  • Extraction and disposal off site Compressible PEAT.
  • Extensive Geo-environmental testing of existing made grounds for environmental verification for re-use.
  • Excavation preparation for the proposed attenuation tank instal- lation and backfilling on completion.
  • On site reprocessing of existing hardstands in accordance with WRAP quality protocol to produce both Granular 6F capping ma- terial and DoT Type 1 subbase for re-use within the proposed construction build-ups.
  • Re-engineering of all made grounds to an appropriate specifica- tion to meet the requirement of proposed settlement limits.
  • Management and control of surface water, perched groundwa- ter .
  • Controlled backfilling of existing Japanese Knotweed root barri- ers.
  • Air quality monitoring and vibration monitoring.
  • All works undertaken in accordance with CL:AIRE CoP.
  • Extensive geotechnical verification testing of engineered materi- al for validation in line with the specification, including Shear Wave velocity Testing.

TR Stabilisation, adopted an holistic approach at early contract in- volvement, to ensure fixed costs within budget costs, and delivery of the project with the allocated timeframe accommodating partial hand- over for release to follow on construction phase activities.

Environmental & Sustainability savings:

  • Reduced depletion of natural resources (aggregates) associated with Granular 6F, DoT Type 1 subbase.
  • Reduction in disposals off site to landfill
  • Reduction in Energy, Fuel and Emissions.
