A Complete Suite of Contaminated Land Solutions
We offer an integrated service to address all aspects of site remediation and ground improvement.
Site Investigation
The first crucial step in any remediation project. We conduct thorough site investigations to characterise ground conditions and identify the nature and extent of any contamination. This data-led approach allows us to develop a targeted and effective remediation strategy that meets all regulatory requirements.
Land Remediation
Our team is experienced in a wide range of remediation techniques to treat contaminated soils and groundwater. From simple excavation and disposal to more complex in-situ and ex-situ treatment methods, we design and implement the most appropriate solution to safely and permanently remove or mitigate contaminants on your site.
Ground Engineering & Improvement
Beyond contamination, we address poor ground conditions to make a site suitable for construction. Our ground engineering services include soil stabilisation, ground improvement, and the installation of gas protection measures, ensuring the land is structurally sound and safe for development.

What is land remediation?
Land remediation is the process of treating, removing, or containing contaminants within soil and groundwater to make a site safe for human health and the environment. It is often a requirement for developing brownfield sites.
How do you know if my land is contaminated?
We start with a site investigation, which involves collecting soil and water samples for laboratory analysis. The results tell us what contaminants are present and at what concentrations, allowing us to assess the risk and determine if remediation is necessary.
What are the most common remediation techniques?
Techniques vary depending on the type of contamination. They can range from "dig and dump" (excavation and off-site disposal) to soil washing, bioremediation (using microorganisms to break down contaminants), and soil stabilisation to lock contaminants in place. We will always propose the most suitable and cost-effective method.
How do you ensure the work is compliant with regulations?
We develop a Remediation Strategy that is submitted to and approved by the relevant regulatory bodies before any work begins. Throughout the project, we maintain clear communication and provide detailed documentation, culminating in a final validation report that confirms compliance.
