Our Services...
LCRM: Stage 1 Risk Assessment
Desktop assessment of the environmental setting, historical land use and potential ground-related constraints affecting a site. We develop an initial Conceptual Site Model (CSM) to identify potentially significant contaminant linkages and determine whether further investigation or assessment is required.
Reports are prepared in accordance with current Land Contamination Risk Management (LCRM) guidance and can be used to support planning applications and the discharge of contaminated land planning conditions
.
Ground Investigation & Geotechnical Assessment
Environmental and geotechnical intrusive investigation to establish ground conditions and obtain the information required for development design and ground risk assessment.
Investigation can include boreholes, trial pits, in-situ testing and the collection of representative soil and groundwater samples for independent laboratory analysis. Findings are interpreted to provide practical recommendations relating to ground conditions, foundations and other geotechnical considerations.
Contaminated Land Assessment & Remediation
Assessment of soil, ground gas, and groundwater contamination to determine whether unacceptable risks are present for the proposed development.
Where remediation is required, we prepare proportionate remedial strategies and specifications and can provide inspection, validation and verification of completed works to demonstrate that the required remediation objectives have been achieved.
Coal Mining Risk Assessment (CMRA), Investigation & Remediation
Coal Mining Risk Assessments for development within areas potentially affected by historic coal mining, undertaken with reference to current Mining Remediation Authority requirements and available geological and mining information.
Where investigation is required, we can arrange and oversee intrusive drilling to establish the presence, depth and condition of coal seams and any associated workings. Where treatment is necessary, we can prepare grouting specifications, oversee remedial works and provide verification reporting to support regulatory approval.
