Japanese Knotweed Removal On Former Football Fields

Contamination Halts Development 

After acquiring a site to develop for housing, a client approached us for a soil analysis report. They planned to excavate the site, and remove the material from the site to landfill. 

The results of the soil analysis told us that the soil was contaminated. The levels of contamination made it unacceptable for the landfill to accept the material – the developer needed a new plan. 

Time to get creative.

Because we’d removed the need for haulage and landfill, this was a much more sustainable option for the developer than the initial plan. Plus, most of the sub soils we excavated were reintroduced to the site, so there was no need to import additional backfill material, eradicating that expense.

Now, the site is ready for residential development for much needed affordable housing.
