Contaminated land from historical land use, fly-tipping, and industrial or commercial activities is a widespread issue across the UK, particularly in high-value urban areas under pressure for new developments, such as schools, housing, and open spaces.
Our environmental experts assess land history, current use, and potential contamination costs. Following an initial evaluation, we carry out a comprehensive preliminary desk study, then conduct a targeted site investigation. This includes examining ground conditions, soil and groundwater contamination (such as asbestos, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons), as well as land gas risks.
After the investigation, we provide clear guidance on development options and necessary remedial actions, ensuring safety for the environment, groundworkers, and future site users.
