Inner City Environmental (ICE) was appointed by Align JV to undertake asbestos-contaminated soil remediation works as part of the enabling phase of the HS2 infrastructure programme. The works were carried out across multiple zones within a large construction site, requiring detailed planning and strict environmental controls.
Scope of Works
- Investigation and delineation of asbestos-contaminated soil
- Licensed and non-licensed asbestos removal
- Soil screening and segregation
- Safe disposal of hazardous waste
- Compliance with CL:AIRE and Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
Challenges
The site spanned a large area with varying ground conditions and active construction activity. ICE worked closely with Align JV’s environmental and safety teams to ensure remediation works were completed safely and in accordance with HS2’s stringent compliance standards. Weather conditions and access logistics added complexity to the programme, requiring flexible and responsive site management.
Outcome
ICE successfully remediated all identified asbestos-contaminated zones, enabling construction works to proceed without delay. The project was delivered on time, with full documentation and regulatory compliance, supporting HS2’s commitment to safe and sustainable development.
