Kettering
Job Description
Environmental remediation of a former testing laboratory.
Scope of Works:
Our client, Avery Healthcare Group, appointed Natta on a design and build basis to demolish and remediate a former industrial testing laboratory. We constructed a new 119-bed residential care home in its place on a 1ha site.
The site was impacted by a variety of historically contaminated made ground materials and coal tar Asphalt.
Additionally, the bedrock clay and ironstone formations had naturally elevated levels of arsenic, to a level making them unsuitable at or near the surface in a residential or public open space setting.
Natta Geo-Environmental carried out a detailed delineation and re-interpretation. A complex layered sequence of impacted and non-impacted materials was identified for segregation, disposal and re-use to support this environmental remediation.
The team then excavated three new construction platforms into the steep hillside at the site. This necessitated the excavation of 9000m³ of soil and natural formation.
The construction platforms were chemically validated for discharge of the remediation Planning Conditions.
Natta has managed all aspects of the earthworks, site investigation, environmental remediation and construction, including full fit out of the care home to completion and discharge of all planning conditions.
