Site Overview
Envirotreat was employed to remediate contaminated soils at a site in Beverley, East Yorkshire. The Bartoline Factory occupied a 3.5 acre site, when in May 2003 a major fire destroyed the building, resulting in significant ground contamination and pollution of two nearby watercourses.
The factory was formerly used for the manufacture, storage and distribution of chemicals including solvents and adhesives. Historical activities onsite had resulted in widespread soil contamination. Following the fire and efforts to control it resulted in Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons entering the groundwater and nearby water courses.
The factory was rebuilt in 2005.
Objective
The remediation strategy for the Beverley site was designed to address the source (soil) contamination and indirectly the pathway contamination issues, with the intention of protecting Human Health and the identified groundwater and other offsite receptors (i.e. The Barmstrum Drain which leads to the River Hull).
Methodology
Envirotreat treated in excess of 6,500 m³ of contaminated soils at the Bartoline site using E-Clay stabilisation to immobilise pollutants of concern.
Delineation and validation of the excavations was undertaken.
The identified contamination was fully excavated and treated on-site using the Envirotreat E-Clay technology. Treated soils validation was undertaken by assessing leachate concentration against the agreed Remediation Target Criteria.
Validated soils were reused onsite.
