Ecologia has been appointed by a developer to undertake the remediation of a former foundry in East Kent. The site will be redeveloped for mixed commercial and residential use. The remediation work will entail removal of existing building foundations, excavation and screening of contamination hotspots with on site treatment using biopiles, localised dewatering and treatment of groundwater hydrocarbon contamination. The site will be operated under a materials management plan devised using the new CL:AIRE code of practice for the definition of waste.
