Vertase FLI Contracting Skills

Why Vertase FLI?

Leading the field, whether in terms of contaminated land remediation or delivering enabling works, has always been our goal and we are well placed both geographically and technically to deliver the most appropriate solution to your contaminated land or brownfield site. VertaseFLI combines in-house technical design skills with operational strength to ensure projects are delivered in the most cost effective and sustainable manner. As our selection of case studies demonstrates, we have extensive experience of all remediation technologies and a wide range of demolition, earthworks and enabling projects to include infrastructure, attenuation tanks, roads and sewers for a broad range of clients and industries, we apply the same high standards and competitive approach to all projects; whether to a single dwelling or a large chemical manufacturing site. We believe we have encountered and successfully dealt with all possible contamination issues. Our recent sites have involved the remediation of most common contaminants but also some of the more rare and difficult problems in both soils and groundwater including tars, creosotes, herbicides, pesticides, phenolics, tin slag, low level radioactive waste, medium and heavy weight aromatics, naphthalene, benzene, xylene, toluene, phthalates, cyanide, animal by-products, landfill waste, chlorinated solvents, insecticides, asbestos and unexploded ordnance to name but a few. Experience is nothing without quality and along with the experience of technology and treatment we are proud that our Integrated Management System is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and recently attained ISO 45001:2018 is a major achievement for the business. Confidence that all our design and build activities are covered by comprehensive and robust insurances is critical and VertaseFLI maintain cover over and above that provided by our peer group such as Professional Indemnity and Contractors All Risk (without environmental impact exclusion). We are of course holders of an Environmental Permit covering all remediation methodologies for deployment across the UK.

Our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the unique demands of each project, allowing us to deliver tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of our clients and the environments in which we operate.

Tailored Solutions for Complex Challenges

One of the key aspects of our contracting skills is our ability to develop and implement bespoke solutions for even the most complex environmental challenges. Whether dealing with heavily contaminated brownfield sites or managing the safe removal of hazardous materials, our team brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to each project. We recognise that no two sites are the same, and our commitment to delivering the most appropriate and cost-effective solutions is reflected in our meticulous approach to project planning and execution.

Our in-house technical design skills are complemented by our operational strength, ensuring that every project is executed with precision and efficiency. From initial site assessments to the final stages of remediation and development, we work closely with our clients to ensure that their objectives are met, while also adhering to the highest standards of safety and environmental responsibility.

Advanced Remediation Technologies

The breadth of our contracting skills is further demonstrated by our expertise in a wide range of advanced remediation technologies. Our team is proficient in the deployment of both traditional and cutting-edge techniques, ensuring that we can tackle any contamination issue, no matter how complex. Technologies such as in-situ bioremediation, dual-phase extraction, and permeable reactive barriers are just a few examples of the innovative solutions we employ to restore contaminated sites to a safe and usable state.

We understand that the success of a remediation project often hinges on the careful selection and application of the right technology. That’s why our contracting skills extend beyond just the physical aspects of remediation to include comprehensive project management, risk assessment, and ongoing monitoring. This holistic approach ensures that our clients receive a complete and effective solution that not only addresses immediate concerns but also provides long-term environmental benefits.

In addition to our certifications, we hold comprehensive insurance cover that exceeds industry standards. This includes Professional Indemnity and Contractors All Risk insurance, both of which are essential for providing our clients with the peace of mind that their projects are in safe hands. Our Environmental Permit, which covers all remediation methodologies for deployment across the UK, further demonstrates our commitment to regulatory compliance and environmental stewardship.
