Case Study 1 ⬍
Client – WWB Minerals Production Facility Redhill
Project - Disposal of chemicals
WWB Minerals had closed its Redhill operation and sold the land to a leading house developer to build an extensive housing estate, apart from chemical and fuel tanks which were cleaned and removed, the project included the cleaning of two thirty metre, vertical silo’s containing dangerous silica flour in its raw state.
The scope of works included:
- A Permit to Work system for the proposed works was acquired, preventing unauthorised access into the work area while the work was being carried out.
- Operatives, wearing all the correct protective PPE and BA, cut an appropriate sized hole in the silos for the tanker hose access.
- The edges of the holes were protected before the hoses were placed in them.
- The Silica Flour was vacuumed through hoses into the sealed disposal skips, ready for transport to a licensed disposal facility.
- On completion of the removal, the silos were cleaned and washed down.
The entire site contained a large range of storage tanks and vessels containing an extensive variety of chemicals, acids and fuels, all of which required decommissioning and disposal.
Within the on site laboratory, locked in steel cabinets were a large range of chemicals in varying volumes, these all required testing by a trained chemist in order to identify them for subsequent disposal. This project demonstrates KpH’s capability to deal with an extensive range of waste streams, disposing of each and every one in an environmentally sound and safe manor.

Client – Geodelft Environmental
Project - Petro-chem Decontamination of Newton Heath Lagoon, Manchester
This project focused on the environmental cleaning and removal of built up contaminated sludge and water from the lagoon.
The scope of works included:
- The supply of specialist licensed vacuum tankers to remove and dispose of 157-tonnes of PCB and TPH contaminated oil, water and sludge
- Entry into the lagoon using specialist PPE such as chemical suits, waders, full visor masks and rubber gloves
- The use of high pressure water jet equipment to clean and remove butane and other contamination
- The implementation of specialist safety systems including the provision of life saving buoyancy aids to all operatives
These potentially dangerous works were carried out under controlled conditions, with constant monitoring and surveillance, in line with the Method Statement and Risk Assessments. The lagoon was handed back to the client to continue with its designed settlement process.
With a wealth of experience in managing the sustainability of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, KpH will provide the best solution to collect, transport and correctly dispose of almost any waste stream.
All waste is handled by competent operatives and/or trained chemists who have the necessary skills and equipment to prepare, transport and dispose of waste safely and in accordance with current legislation. Full environmental paperwork is provided to confirm that waste has been legally disposed of at a licensed treatment facility.
When dealing with hazardous, high- risk situations, the waste may need to be sampled and analysed to identify a disposal route. In such situations, prior to commencement, a site meeting can be arranged to discuss the safe method of works in greater detail.
