Land Clean Limited is a national contractor specialising in the cleaning and decontamination of land. At one of its current sites in Northern England Land Clean needed to assemble their mobile thermal desorption plant. This machine processes and cleans contaminated soil by a process of burning and sterilisation. On this occasion historical chemical works had contaminated the soil.

Temporary building for soil storage

An industrial shed was needed to house the contaminated soil excavated from a historical chemical works prior to the earth being treated with lime and dried to a suitable condition before being processed through the plant ready for back fill to the area where it was first excavated, providing an environmental programme of decontamination.

The structures provided by Aganto comprised of two 15 x 40 x 4.2 metre gutter linked industrial sheds complete with roller shutter doors enabling access for plant and lorries.

Flexible industrial sheds

Steve Rogers of Land Clean commented that "the structures increased productivity on site to such an extent that we have asked Aganto to extend the current warehouses by a further 15 x 35 x 4.2 metres to cope with additional material thus speeding up the whole process further."

The unique flexibility of these types of buildings means that Aganto can easily extend the structure with no disruption to daily operations with ease and speed or even re-locate the lot!

Andy Butters, Director of Aganto commented "This was an interesting project for Aganto moving away from the more traditional uses for our structures and really moving into a niche market, we always pride ourselves on levels of service and product versatility and here is a classic example. Further we are very proud to be associated with such an environmentally friendly project and company."
