Redstart were retained to undertake the remediation and enabling works of a 4 ha site prior to residential re-development
Redstart was retained to undertake remediation and enabling works in preparation for the construction of a residential development comprising 138No. low rise residential dwellings with associated gardens, estate roads and infrastructure. The works involved the large scale re-use of existing materials to create a development platform. The works were completed under the auspices of a QP approved, DoWCoP compliant Materials Management Plan. All materials were successfully re-used on site and re-engineered to achieve the required geotechnical parameters
