I & H Brown have further strengthened their reputation for being at the forefront of ground breaking remediation technology with a Commendation from The Saltire Society for work carried out at a former gasworks in Dundee.

Civil Engineering is one of the industries covered by the Saltire Society's annual awards, which recognise achievements that strengthen and enrich the country’s cultural life.

The commended project, which attracted UK wide interest, was the first successful commercial use of low temperature thermal desorption (LTTD) for treating gasworks contaminants and the first example in the UK of an operating "cluster site".

Contracts Director Roger Philpott said: "We are delighted to receive this prestigious commendation from the Saltire Society for this innovative gasworks project. Thermal desorption was identified as the best process to meet the environmental goals for the project giving us 100% re-use of treated materials and at a comparable cost to landfilling."
