At Earth Environmental & Geotechnical, we specialise in comprehensive contaminated land assessments and surveys for clients across the UK. Whether you are purchasing land, planning a development, or managing environmental liabilities, a land contamination survey is essential to identify any potential risks and comply with planning regulations.
Contaminated or potentially contaminated land is a common issue, especially on brownfield or previously industrial sites. A professional contaminated land survey helps uncover potential hazards such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, or ground gases that may pose a risk to human health, controlled waters, or future development.
Our team of expert contaminated land consultants has extensive experience providing investigations, assessments, and remediation strategies to developers, house builders, landowners, solicitors, local authorities, and property consultants on potential liabilities and development constraints.
As part of our service, we regularly liaise with the Environment Agency and Local Authority Contaminated Land Officers to jointly agree upon the site investigation strategy, remedial design, and ultimately satisfactory discharge planning conditions.
At Earth Environmental & Geotechnical, we offer end-to-end services to assess and manage land contamination risks at every stage of the development cycle. Typical contaminated land services we provide include;
The investigation, assessment and remediation of contaminated land requires an understanding of many different specialist disciplines that allow for a comprehensive and pragmatic development to proceed. At Earth and Environmental, our specialist team includes geologists, hydrogeologists, toxicologists, risk assessors, soil mechanics, and engineers who bring their expertise to each project.
With a proven record of accomplishment and involvement in UK-wide contaminated land guidance, we offer a robust and in-depth service, utilising advanced models (CLEA, RBCA) to support risk assessments and decision making under the source-pathway-receptor model, allowing for a cost effective and sustainable decisions to be implemented.
Redeveloping brownfield land comes with many unique challenges. Without proper investigation, unknown ground contamination can lead to costly delays or even health hazards. It is much more cost-effective for developers to deal with the issues before construction starts than to stop construction when underlying issues are found, or to complete the development project when risk to properties or inhabitants is still present.
Developers need a clear understanding of all the risks and a detailed plan of how to mitigate those risks before construction. Our comprehensive services support clients from land acquisition to project completion, ensuring that all environmental risks are understood fully and managed.
Our expert team helps mitigate risks early in the planning process, enabling you and your developers to move forward with confidence and meet legal obligations under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
