Remediation and Demolition works at a Former Cotton Mill.
Project
Redstart Northwest were retained by Countryside Properties to undertake remediation and enabling works and prepare a completion report for a residential development comprising 80No. low rise residential dwellings with associated driveways and garden areas, estate roads and infrastructure.
Overview
The site historically comprised 1.87Ha of mill complex that was subject to extensive demolition towards the end of 2015. The majority of hardstandings were removed from site. All footings, sub-surface structures and water reservoir remained on site. Redstart completed a programme of site enabling, remediation and engineering works. These works were planned to sort and process site won and imported materials in order to create the required development platform and render the site suitable for the proposed development.
