Land Remediation

Woods manage Land Remediation projects from initial consultation through to sampling, operation / removal, monitoring and validation.

Working with our clients, we will utilise the existing data and develop conceptual designs which provide our clients with the confidence to progress their schemes using our highly trained management and operative workforce.

Services include: excavation, haulage and disposal of contaminated soils and the remediation of asbestos in soils and water.

We apply our specialist knowledge, expertise and experience within contracting to manage risks, maximise the benefits of resource recovery / reclaimed materials and where possible provide significant savings over disposal to landfill.

Lead Removal / Decontamination

Lead can be found in construction workplaces. It is commonly used as a specialist material and present in older buildings.

Lead can cause serious health problems such as anaemia or kidney disease and research has linked exposure to a small number of occupational cancers. We undertake every aspect of lead abatement using highly trained site teams and the latest technologies.

A Lead Survey should be undertaken initially to determine the location and severity of any contamination. We work with numerous accredited survey companies across the UK and we are able to recommend appropriate partners to suit client requirements. Please contact us for our recommended list of independent accredited lead survey companies.

Soft Strip Demolition

Woods can undertake soft strip demolition as part of any enabling works prior to asbestos removal.

Our experience and trained operatives carry out soft strip demolition projects where there is a requirement for non-structural elements of a building to be removed.

Our clients often prefer to procure the soft strip and removal to Woods as one package to reduce costs, programme and to ensure the soft strip does not disturb the asbestos.

We remove all services, fixtures and fittings, internal walls and ceilings and employ trained asbestos electricians to assist with isolations where required
