Brownfield Development

LimeX has proved very effective in restoring brownfield sites, particularly those that have been contaminated and are unable to support green cover or plant growth.

LimeX is a unique product with specific attributes:

• pH correction
• soil-forming
• integral nutrients
• sustainable
  

pH Correction
LimeX's fine particle size is at the heart of its effectiveness in adjusting the acidity of contaminated land  -  it ensures it is both fast-acting and long lasting.

Soil Forming
By means of deep mechanical cultivation, LimeX quickly integrates into the existing material.  The process can be accelerated by the addition of fertile topsoil such as Landscape20, a high-quality product from British Sugar's TOPSOIL business (bstopsoil.co.uk)

Integral Nutrients
LimeX has a unique advantage over competitive products in that it contains a number of nutrients that significantly increase the rate of plant growth.  The levels of Phosphate, Magnesium Oxide and Sulphate inherent in LimeX reduce the need to add costly materials to the site.

Sustainable
LimeX is an outstanding example of sustainability.  The product is a recycled co-product of British Sugar's beet processing and benefits from an ISO-accredited manufacturing discipline that ensures total quality control.
