investigations were undertaken which identified
a legacy of typical gasworks contamination
associated with the gas holders, retort
houses and underground fuel tanks. Click

former timber yard which was to be developed
as a retail garden centre. The
site investigation proved the presence of

system which was in hydraulic continuity
with a neighbouring sensitive river. Click

Layerthorpe, York. Planning
Permission Granted
REC Ltd has been involved
in a planning application for the redevelopment
of a former gas works site in York for
the past three years. The redevelopment comprises
of a high quality residential scheme
comprising
of apartment blocks adjacent to the River
Foss.
REC Ltd were brought into the planning
and construction design team by a Manchester
based structural engineering practice to
advise on soil and groundwater issues associated
with the site. Site investigations proved
that the site, which is located on a regionally
important aquifer, was not grossly contaminated,
although deep groundwater was impacted
by certain contaminants of concern. The
groundwater was deemed to have been impacted
from on offsite source (the adjacent main
town gas production area) as there was
little evidence of contamination in overlying
soils on the site. Click here for full

First use of Sonic Drilling in UK
A bing is the Scottish term for a colliery
waste tip. REC Ltd. were contacted by
a client who as owners of the Waterside
Bing at Kirkintilloch
were interested in sampling throughout
the bing to determine the coal content
and so
the possibilities for the recovery of
the coal as an economic activity. The former
Waterside Colliery was noted for the
production
of high quality anthracite coal and so
recovered coal would be of particular value.
Consequently
accurate and representative sampling
would be most important.
