Contaminated Site Studies
Environmental & Historical Desk Studies
The company has extensive experience of undertaking environmental and historical desk studies. These utilise high-quality site-centred Ordnance Survey historical mapping from the late nineteenth century to the present day, and also include comprehensive environmental database searches.
These enable us to determine if the site and surrounding area have been subject to potentially contaminative use and also give information on aspects such as landfills, radon potential, watercourses, aquifers and public water supply abstractions.
Environmental Site Investigation
Site investigation utilises the low-disturbance technique of window sampling as well as excavator-dug trial pitting and cable percussion drilling. Standpipes can be installed for monitoring groundwater and soil gases.
We have investigated numerous types of development including, for example, petrol stations, factories, landfills, timber treatment works, scrap yards and foundries.
