This method of mass stabilisation provides a much quicker and more efficient process than more traditional methods allowing greater control over quantities and the effectiveness of the distribution. It also means that the material can be treated in situ which is more environmentally beneficial as well as providing some element of value engineering.
The stabilisation is part of the regeneration of the former Smith's Dock in North Shields, which is being carried out by main contractor VolkerStevin on behalf of developer Places for People. When stabilised the material will be removed from the two docks and used in landscaping on the site.
