Severn Trent

Project Overview:

In 2023, we supported J Murphy and Sons, and their client Severn Trent PLC, in the removal of 25,021 tonnes of waste from HS2 Batch 2 Lavender Hall. The land at Lavender Hall, Berkswell, was historically a landfill site which posed many challenges for J Murphy and Sons as they had to adhere to an EA position statement on the repurposing of the excavated spoil. The Site Team mobilised our in-house SiteLab (Mobile Soil Testing Service) – which uses focused Rapid Measuring Technology (RMT), which helped the Team to assess and minimise hazardous waste hotspots, sampling daily through active digs. We also provided in-house Asbestos trained Site Agents to oversee logistics and compliance, as well acting as a watching brief to identify any non-conforming wastes. A dedicated Project Manager was available throughout the works to ensure adherence to KPI’s, compliance, performance and commercial targets.

Key Achievements:

• 20% carbon footprint reduction
• 25,000 tonnes of waste removed
• 100% diversion from landfill
• £75k+ delivered in social and economic value

“Their exemplary waste management services have been absolutely perfect. They not only efficiently handle all of our sites’ waste but went above and
beyond by successfully managing the removal of contaminated landfill. The booking-in process was flawless (HS2 site), making our operations run
seamlessly. They have consistently demonstrated their commitment to sustainability and excellence, and we’re grateful to have them work with
us. A big thank you to Justin, Ricky and Jemma for making everything effortless”
