Contaminated Land Surveys

Desktop Surveys and Soil surveys

We can complete a contaminated land phase 1 desktop survey risk assessment to BS:10175. This can also be done as part of an environmental permit application (H5), planning condition or property purchase using the Source -Pathway – Receptor model approved by the Environment Agency. If you need to proceed to a Phase 2 intrusive investigation we can scope the survey and furthermore suggest what to sample for.

We can help with groundwater risk assessments and all aspects of soil condition reports.

I found Paul tremendous help in guiding our business through the first year of post 14001 certification. He provided much needed support to our organisation with internal auditing and bespoke training and professional advice on environmental management.

After several failed attempts trying to deal with the EA ourselves, we eventually employed Paul to complete our ELV permit transfer from a previous site owner. His consultancy service was professional and resulted in the Environment Agency completing a successful transfer of ownership from the previous owner to us.
