Project overview
Provectus was appointed to support the redevelopment of a former industrial and chemical processing site in Dagenham, preparing the ground for the creation of Eastbrook Studios - the UK’s largest film studio campus.
The site presented a number of environmental and geotechnical challenges, including contamination, obstructions, and variable ground conditions. Our role was to deliver a remediation and enabling works package that created a safe, compliant, and construction-ready platform for this landmark scheme.
Key Challenges
- Legacy contamination from historic chemical and industrial activities.
- Requirement for a compliant Remediation Implementation Plan and Materials Management Plan (MMP).
- Excavation and management of approximately 30,000 m³ of soils.
- Presence of significant below-ground obstructions and need for pile proving.
- Complex phasing to align with construction schedules.

Our approach
- Prepared and implemented a Remediation Implementation Plan, integrating waste classification and regulatory approvals.
- Deployed a Mobile Treatment Licence (MTL) to enable on-site processing and maximise reuse of materials.
- Delivered a Materials Management Plan (MMP) under CL:AIRE protocols to facilitate sustainable reuse of site-won soils.
- Managed excavation, treatment, and off-site transfer of 30,000 m³ of soils, ensuring compliance with WM3 waste classification.
- Used a bespoke cloud-based iOS app for real-time waste consignment tracking, ensuring transparency and traceability for all off-site disposals.
- Carried out obstruction removal and pile proving across the site.
- Designed and constructed pile platforms in phased sections to support the next stage of development.
- Maintained a full-time site presence of trained and competent staff, providing oversight and quality assurance.
