Soil and construction waste management

Keltbray’s contaminated soil and construction waste management services implement the treatment of contaminated materials from brownfield and redevelopment sites, which are then transformed into materials that are suitable for use in restoration projects and new landforms. Specialising in off-site treatment and recovery of construction, demolition and excavation wastes, and operating from strategic locations across the UK, our soil treatment facilities provide a sustainable option for contaminated soils through diverting waste from landfill:

– To deliver an innovative waste solution which demonstrates best value for money – To offer a waste service that fulfils defined levels of quality, fostering innovation, managing quality and performance for waste generation – To achieve a pathway to Zero Waste where possible for all waste materials collected

We have the unique ability to utilise both road and river transport due to our strategic investment in wharf sites along the River Thames. Moving materials by barge has multiple benefits over road tipper haulage including reducing carbon emissions, easing congestion on city roads and increasing movement capability. These ISO accredited sites can receive and service waste from a wide range of land remediation, construction and demolition/ decommissioning projects across the UK and manage in excess of 800,000 tonnes of contaminated soils each year. Soils are processed and cleansed using advanced technologies to treat a wide range of contaminants and pollutants. This allows us to maximise the reuse of materials. Contaminant residues are analysed and disposed of safely, compliantly and in accordance with environmental guidelines and legislation. Keltbray is able to draw on the valuable in-house resources of the wider group, including specialist haulage and remediation capabilities. This allows access to additional technical and logistical expertise when required, which significantly increases our ability to complete complex projects sustainably and on schedule.

MATERIALS ANALYSIS AND TREATMENT

We have dedicated chemists with expert knowledge and experience of sampling and testing Construction, Demolition and Excavation (CDE) wastes. We are able to offer waste classification and analysis through site visits and sample collection. As a result of our long-standing relationship with one of the UK’s leading fully accredited laboratories, we offer waste classification and analysis, along with site visits and sample collection.

MATERIALS TREATMENT

Our bespoke permits ensure that we can accept hazardous and nonhazardous materials with a wide range of contaminants. Using physical and biochemical treatment, we remove contaminants producing a clean material suitable for recovery, using industry-leading soil washing, bioremediation and stabilisation methods. Our Zero Waste policy necessitates that we carry out vigorous analysis before, during and after treatment to ensure compliance.
