Projects
A few recent sites, what we found under or on them, and what happened next (sample projects).
Mill Lane, Springfield. 46 homes planned (sample).
What we found. Ash and clinker made ground to 1.80 m with diesel in it near the old fuel tanks; clean clay and groundwater below.
What happened next. The made ground under the gardens was dug out and replaced with 600 mm of tested clean soil. The condition was discharged in March (sample).
Old dye works by the river
Riverside, Springfield. A new public park (sample).
What we found. Metals in the river bank and a culvert full of silt; bats in the boiler house roof.
What happened next. The bank was capped and planted, the culvert cleared, and a bat loft kept in the boiler house when it became a café (sample).
Barns at Hollow Farm
Four homes in converted barns (sample).
What we found. A small summer roost of common pipistrelle bats in one barn and swallow nests in another.
What happened next. Work started in October after the bats left, under a licence, with new roost spaces under the ridge tiles (sample).
