RIVER ACADEMY

River Academy provides much-needed school places for up to 1,500 pupils. The site, which was previously used as a landfill and driving range, requires extensive remediation to make it suitable for development. This includes mitigating human health risks and managing ground conditions to reduce flood risk, as the site lies within Flood Risk Zone 3.

Toureen Remediation delivers the project to the highest sustainable standards while overcoming significant site challenges. In consultation with the Environment Agency, an enhanced remediation strategy is developed, including the reuse of the existing landfill capping layer rather than its disposal. Soil management is highly controlled, involving careful stripping of the capping layer, full material tracking, and rigorous testing that exceeds standard requirements. This is facilitated by Toureen’s in-house Mobile Treatment Licence.

The project is successfully delivered, achieving significant environmental betterment across multiple aspects of the scheme.
