This contractor is using a safe and non-toxic waterborne acrylic sealant, which is used in conjunction with an air sealing system. This pressurises the building or apartment and sprays the sealant before injecting the precise level of sealant mist into the apartments. The particles are automatically drawn to each leak and will completely seal it leaving no VOC or gases….
On this project, biodegradable silt mats have been placed across the swales that traverse the site to trap silt run-off and prevent it polluting nearby watercourses. The silt mats are manufactured from coir, which is a natural material made from coconut fibres that will biodegrade over time. Natural vegetation can grow through the silt mats, helping to stabilise the swales…
It is essential that every site gives careful consideration to its potential impact on the natural environment. As part of the environmental plan, there should be safe working practices for dealing with hazardous waste, to ensure that it is stored, handled and transported correctly. Arrangements should be made for appropriate refuelling areas, and bunded tanks, drip trays and spill kits should…
Biobrane Silt Pockets are designed to trap eroded material which encourages settlement of silt. On this project, they have been used as a type of check dam which require no-dig to control surface erosion from sheet run off and the migration of silt off site. As the silt pockets fill with water and trap silt, they create a sediment trap…
Over the winter period the project has had to manage water on the site. Due to the nature of the existing ground conditions, predominantly a Mercia Mudstone clay material, the run-off from excavation areas carries a heavy silt load. To manage water on site, the project is utilising the permanent works drainage attenuation ponds, as well as temporary ponds, for…
We have introduced a Siltbuster Solidify XL product to our site in South Kensington to reduce the risk of contaminated water waste entering the local watercourse. All painting and plastering works on our site are facilitated by a wash down unit so that no water waste enters the sewer system. At this point we use a small amount of Siltbuster…
On the M20 Junction 10a scheme, the Taylor Woodrow Vinci Joint Venture has used a product to protect the Aylesford stream from silt and erosion. The stream was highlighted as one of the most sensitive receptors running through the majority of the site, so the project team immediately starting reaching for the best methods of sediment control. The Hy-Tex Erosion…
