Case Study

PROJECT

Jaguar Land Rover, Solihull

Client: Vinci Construction UK

Location: Jaguar Land Rover, Solihull

Contract Value: £1.85M

Dunton Environmental supported Vinci through the enabling works at the new car manufacturing facility at Jaguar Land Rover’s Solihull plant.

THE CHALLENGE

  • The project comprised a £60 million expansion scheme at Jaguar Land Rover’s existing Solihull plant.
  • To manage a substantial volume of surplus construction arisings and to provide a suitably engineered development platform.
  • Remediation of contaminated hotspots arising from previous industrial activities.
  • Restricted working arrangements and multiple re-mobilisation to allow for changes in working sequences.

 

OUR SOLUTION

  • Pre-construction hazardous waste assessment in accordance with EA WM2 guidance.
  • Enabling works comprised bulk excavation, segregation and treatment using Dunton’s in-house Bio-Accelerator and Regener8-19 product range.
  • Processed material was regulated under a Materials Management Plan (MMP) and re-used on site where it met approved criteria. Unsuitable material was disposed off-site in accordance with the waste management hierarchy.
  • Works included providing a suitable engineered development platform using our CementexTMproduct to support temporary piling mat. The platform was engineered to line and level incorporating a cut and fill operation over the site.
