GT Green-Tree Topsoil - Wath Manvers Regeneration Project

Wath Manvers Regeneration Project Wath Manvers Regeneration Project

Introduction

2007 saw the remediation of a former colliery site at Wath Manvers, South Yorkshire. The site was to be transformed into a 9 hole golf course and landscaped area. One of the most significant elements to the project was to establish a beneficial playing area and its associated benefits to the visual environment as well as for bird and animal habitat establishment.

Green-thinking

Green-Tech Ltd supplied their manufactured topsoil which is made utilizing waste organic material from Yorkshire Water Plc, composted Green Waste from several local authorities and overburden sand from local quarries. The manufactured topsoil has a reduced bulk density which reduced the amount of topsoil needed by 18,000m3 hence saving around 600/650 wagon journeys which amounted to 24,000 road miles. The use of green-tree topsoil in turn diverted 20,000 tonnes of organic waste from landfill (Figures provided by N.I.S.P).

Application

The project was to remediate a site of 285 acres, costing a total of £130million. The site had been contaminated with hydrocarbons as a result of heavy mining activity. Tarmac bought the soil from Green-tech Ltd to supply Luddingtons who were going to complete the work. The scheme was given the go ahead in March 2006 and work commenced in June 2006. A total of 30,000 cubic metres of topsoil was required. Gt Green-tree topsoil was earmarked for the project as all this material would be from one source ensuring a sustainable supply of consistent quality. The topsoil came from 25 miles away, from a Yorkshire Water site in Dewsbury. The soil was regularly tested by Tim O Hare Associates for the project to ensure its consistency.
