Excavation
At Dorton Demolition & Excavation Limited we take great pride in being able to offer our clients a full range of services. Those services include the facility for small, medium or large scale earth works following demolition and dismantling activities on the site. The recent UK Government brown field site initiatives together with the ‘Sustainable Agenda’ have stimulated and promoted the reclamation and recycling of site materials and the reintroduction of the land for new build.
Whether the works involve a simple site clearance programme, a reduced dig and or ground remediation process, there is often an added requirement for an Environmental Impact Assessment. The EIA can be incorporated into plans, programmes and policies to provide a Strategic Environmental Assessment for the duration of the works. Site Waste Management Plans are also a legal requirement for many projects and a structured approach to recycling and re-use is of paramount consideration to evaluate and separate materials for reclamation or waste.
Our highly qualified and motivated staff will provide on site solutions and desk top studies to ensure that you get the best possible advice and a completed project that meets or exceeds your expectations.
Dorton Demolition & Excavation Limited are a registered BS EN ISO 14001 company.

Ground Remediation
Ground contamination can be an expensive process to manage. Early indication of potential hot spots through test holes carried out at an initial stage of a project can give the developer a clearer picture on costings, with sufficient advance planning, to implement best practicable means of remediation.
There are a number of options available for the treatment of contaminated soils and ground of which the following may be considered;
Stabilisation – chemical and solid
Surface Control Caps – capping with dense impermeable material
Excavation
Liquid Phase Adsorption System – activated carbon
Phytoextraction
Bioremediation
Soil Washing
Soil contamination common to heavy industrial sites are;
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons ( PAH’s )
Polychlorinated Biphenyls ( PCB’s )
Volatile Organic Compounds ) VOC’s )
Heavy Metals ( Arsenic, Chromium, Copper, Lead etc )
The Dorton Group can offer clients a practical on site or off site solution to all ground condition concerns. We employ conventional and innovative techniques and physically undertake the decontamination and associated civil engineering works. In addition, soil remediation techniques are often integrated with groundwater treatment. These works are validated to pre-agreed standards with the Regulatory Authorities and our client’s end use of the land.
