Waste Minimisation and Waste Classification
SAWR have recently overseen the excavation and movement of in excess of 13,000m3 of theoretically contaminated soils, for either off site treatment/disposal or retention on site for subsequent re use. Prior to movement the material was classified and then sent to appropriate licensed disposal/treatment facilities.
Clean up and bio-remediation of contaminated transport depot
SAWR carried out a clean up of an operational bus depot located next to the river. Following an observation of oil in the river, as well as damage to reed beds, it was identified that the source of the contamination had been the bus depot. Investigation of the area revealed elevated hydrocarbon concentrations at a number of locations on the tidal river bank. In order to prevent further damage from the contamination it was agreed that remedial works would be carried out at the site.
Soil Remediation, Waste Minimisation and Pile Mat installation at former depot
The site in Glasgow was part of a commercial development, being undertaken on the site which had been owned by the local authority. Previous investigation works carried out had discovered the site soils to be contaminated with hydrocarbons. The purpose of the work was to address the contamination issues on site such that it would be suitable for future use. In addition to the remedial works there was also a requirement for some preparation and enabling works for the future construction works..
