Contaminated Soils | Remediation Services

Current high costs associated with Landfill Tax and the disposal of contaminated soils to landfill have led to a resurgence in on-site treatment and re-use of contaminated soils where possible.

KDC’s team of land remediation experts offers a full waste classification service, including delineating and managing waste stockpiles to offer the best lowest cost management strategy. This uses a hierarchy approach of re-use tax free off-site treatment or disposal, inert classification, non-hazardous and hazardous classification and disposal.

KDC also posses state-of-the art on-site analysis equipment which allows a dynamic approach to excavate and classify contaminated soils, in the field, without the need to await external laboratory results. With enormous time saving and safety benefits this can lead to a greater confidence of contamination throughout a site and can lead to significant cost savings.

KDC intends to operate a tax free soil treatment center in Scotland. This will be SEPA approved with all relevant licences in place; Applications are being progressed.

The KDC facility will treat soils contaminated with a wide range of industrial contaminants such as hydrocarbons (petrol, diesel oils) and heavy metals.

In some instances it may safely remain in place providing it is encapsulated, not disturbed, is clearly labelled and its condition is regularly monitored.

KDC will ensure that our highly trained specialists safely control the remediation process to meet the requirements of all regulations. We are meticulous at every stage of the process, from the initial survey right through to the post-removal inspections.
