There
is an increasing requirement to remediate brownfield sites, in
response to growing pressures to generate further development sites
in an expanding economic climate. The major changes which have taken
place are making available for development many of what would have
been considered to be blighted sites, due to their former uses as gas
works, rail sites, landfill, refineries and similar heavy industrial
application sites.
Contaminated
materials can be successfully dealt with on site, using established
Powerbetter Mix-in-Place techniques and procedures, where
Powerbetter's proprietary technology can be used to immobilize and
stabilise contaminants within either a loose or solid matrix.
The
remediation process is undertaken using Powerbetter's Mix-in-Place
process, and can be carried out in single or multiple layers, in
thicknesses between 150mm and 350mm or more. Customised and purpose
built computer controlled machines are the workhorses of the process.
Powerbetter continues to extend the range of applications and
materials with which the remediation process can be used, and
technological advances in the design and manufacture of plant
equipment have been instrumental in this development.
For
many years, the treatment of highly organic and contaminated/polluted
soils by mix-in-place processes was thought to be impractical,
particularly when using standard binders such as quicklime and
cement. As a leader in market technology, Powerbetter has developed a
series of products for use in the stabilisation of peat's and ground
contaminated or polluted with metals, chemicals, oils and other
substances or materials which have traditionally been very costly to
dispose of or immobilise.
The
technology is now available to add the Powerbetter brand of
remediation treatment to other ground contamination solutions.
