Hazibags have helped Gilpin Environmental provide safe and compliant transportation for the removal of soil and stones containing dangerous substances from Highbury & Islington Station. 

Gilpin Environmental Ltd was contracted by Hochtief (UK) Construction and Transport for London to remove soil and stones containing dangerous substances from Vault 3 beneath the station.  The works had to be carried out outside of operating hours whilst the station was closed to the public as the waste had to be transported along the platform, up the public elevator and across the main forecourt. 

Rob Burley, Operations Manager, Gilpin Environmental Ltd says: “Where the use of skips are not possible due to site restrictions, Hazibags provide us with a safe, secure, and compliant means of storage and transportation for our hazardous waste. We have recently utilised Hazibags on multiple sites following their successful use at Highbury & Islington Station for Hochtief (UK) Construction. Hazibags have proved cost effective on projects where the use of a skip would not have been feasible. We will definitely continue to use Hazibags and now see them as an intrinsic part of our waste removal and handling procedures.”
