Commonwealth Games Athletes Village, Glasgow

The works involved site clearance to allow the selective excavation of around 140,000m³ of contaminated soils and materials from various areas across 33 hectares of the proposed site, with the majority being processed and treated on site to permit its reuse. Approximately 100,000m³ of the material underwent soil washing using a bespoke plant assembled and operated by VHE specifically for this contract.

Treatment of invasive species such as Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed was also undertaken during the works. VHE also employed archaeology specialists to inspect, identify and record any historical structures expected to be uncovered by the remediation works.
