Brownfield redevelopment
From a burdened or abandoned location to a site ready for a new purpose. DCC runs the overarching process — demolition, dismantling, remediation and build-ready handover — under one direction.
An old factory location, an abandoned business site or a contaminated plot: the place has a past, but above all a future. Brownfield redevelopment is the overarching process in which we make such a location suitable, step by step, for a new purpose — housing, logistics or new industry.
Where separate parties would normally each handle a piece, DCC brings the entire process under one direction: from the first site analysis to a build-ready, documented site. All the specialist parts fall within it — think of the plant dismantling of an installation, environmental & soil remediation and circular demolition.
Why the whole process in one hand
- One direction and one schedule across all disciplines
- A grip on costs, lead time and liability
- No coordination losses between demolisher, remediator and earthworker
- Geared towards the intended new purpose from the planning phase
- A demonstrably clean and build-ready end result
Ready for what comes next
The end point is not an empty, forgotten site, but a location that is ready for the next phase. We think along about what is technically and financially feasible for the new purpose, and hand over the land as agreed — levelled, certified and documented.
- 01
Site & risk analysis
We map the buildings, installations, asbestos and soil and test them against the plans for the new purpose — so the route is set before the first machine arrives.
- 02
Demolition & dismantling
Everything above ground is removed, including specialist plant dismantling where industrial installations still stand.
- 03
Soil remediation
Contaminated soil and residual streams are remediated, disposed of and demonstrably accounted for in an environmentally sound way.
- 04
Build-ready & ready for redevelopment
The site is delivered levelled, documented and certified — ready for housing, logistics or new industry.
Brownfield redevelopment
What exactly is brownfield development?
Making a contaminated or abandoned site fit for a new purpose: demolition, dismantling, remediation and build-ready handover in one coherent process. DCC manages all the parts.
What is the advantage of one party for the whole process?
One schedule, one point of contact and one responsible party. You avoid coordination losses between demolition, remediation and earthworks contractors and keep a grip on costs, lead time and liability.
What if the soil turns out to be contaminated?
Soil investigation and remediation are part of the process. We map the contamination, draw up the remediation plan, carry out the remediation and hand over the ground demonstrably clean with the accompanying file.
Can DCC advise on the new purpose?
Yes. As early as the planning phase we assess what is technically and financially feasible for housing, logistics or new industry, so the site is handed over exactly as the next phase needs it.
