The BASF chemical pigment factory closed its doors in December 2015, ending 60 years of operation under various ownership. Miller Developments employed I & H Brown to demolish the factory buildings and then remediate the site to make it suitable for housing.
Our works comprised of the identification, capping and removal of services, demolition of the factory buildings, grubbing up and removal of the extensive foundations including piles – which was then recovered for onsite reuse as a 6F2. It also involved licencing asbestos removal works, invasive species management, contaminated land remediation and validation, installation of a new pedestrian footbridge over the White Cart Water, formation of SUDS ponds, and creating the development platforms.
