The purpose of a Phase 1 Environmental Desk Study is to identify any potential sources of contamination, receptors, and pathways in the area of land under consideration. Identifying all previous land uses is key, since pollutants have the potential to travel away from the source, depending on the local geology, groundwater, surface area and superficial deposits.

GeoEnviro Solutions Ltd can offer extensive and effective Phase 2 site investigations in order to discharge a planning condition, investigate potential environmental liabilities, or to enable a more cost-effective targeted remediation strategy.

Remediation is the act of rendering a site ‘fit for purpose’ under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). In its broadest definition, it is taking previously developed land and making it suitable for redevelopment, in its many forms.

If your site lies within a Coal Mining Development High-Risk Area, planning applications are required to include a Coal Mining Risk Assessment (CMRA). A CMRA analyses data provided by the Coal Authority and assesses the associated risks of coal mining related hazards within the proposed site area.

Dependent on the end use of a site, it may be necessary to perform plateload or California Bearing Ratio tests (CBR) on any proposed weight bearing areas.

Renewables and Energy industries require a variety of different services that we can provide, from wind turbine foundations, road design and crane platforms, focusing on design optimisation. We have the expertise and facilities to conduct the site investigations and offer practical solutions across a wide range of sites.

If you are going to remove material from site, you have a duty of care to ensure that you have adequately characterised your waste for disposal offsite to landfill. Most waste soils can be classified by the landfill operator based on a standard range chemical analysis carried out during the site investigation.

Slope stability analysis is a static or dynamic, analytical or empirical method to evaluate the stability of earth and rock-fill dams, embankments, excavated slopes, and natural slopes in soil and rock. Slope stability refers to the condition of inclined soil or rock slopes to withstand or undergo movement.

Soakaways are used to collect surface water run-off prior to discharge into the surrounding soil. Soakaways are constructed in areas where the surface water run-off cannot be disposed into existing sewers or watercourses.

A topographical survey is a detailed accurate plan identifying both natural and artificial features within a specified area. The plan will show all features such as buildings, boundaries, manhole covers and site levels. The results of a topographical survey are normally delivered in digital format (DWG, DXF). We can also supply scaled paper copies at client’s request.
