Idom Merebrook assisted the client in preparing a major strategic 14 hectare site for mixed-use development. The site was part of the former Vauxhall Motors factory and had been in use for vehicle manufacture from 1905.

Assistance was first given at tender stage when it was noted that earlier investigations had omitted to consider the presence of asbestos.

Detailed investigations were carried out to fill the data gap and this allowed our client to confirm its bid to reprofile and remediate the site prior to development by means of a 126,000 m3 cut and fill exercise.
