Our ground risk and remediation experts offer our clients expertise on all aspects of ground risk management – from contaminated site characterisation and remediation through to hydrogeology, water management and ground engineering.
Our capability covers a diverse range of sectors, countries and challenges. From project concept to completion and beyond, we have the scale and expertise to work with clients on anything from complex areas of contaminated land, to new infrastructure and construction schemes through to large scale mining projects.
Here are some of the things that set us apart:
Local, national and international
We are present throughout the UK providing a local contact supported by the depth and experience of a global business.
Design, management and implementation
We are designers, project managers and contractors giving our clients choice and flexibility and access to a wealth of delivery expertise.
Technology and innovation
We use technology to enhance our ways of working and the solutions we deliver. From asbestos in soils to molecular diagnostics through to environmental forensics, we support research and development to explore the issues that affect our clients.
Award-winning
We are passionate about our people, the projects we work on and the clients we work for and we are proud to have received numerous awards at the industry leading Brownfield Briefing Awards.
We remove and manage all the complexities and liabilities associated with historic contamination, leaving our clients free to focus on the future of their business. We can mitigate the risks posed by contaminated land, protect current assets through monitoring and management, and future-proof to cope with an ever-changing regulatory landscape and climate.
Minimising life-cycle costs and increasing asset values
We understand what matters to shareholders, management and regulators and can deliver holistic solutions to ensure client assets are monitored, managed and protected, to minimise life-cycle costs and maximise higher-end values, while remaining environmentally compliant.
Our engineers, biologists, chemists, geologists, hydrogeologists, toxicologists and hazmat specialists combine their knowledge of ground conditions with practical and innovative investigation, diagnostic and characterisation techniques to accurately profile client sites.
Breadth of expertise to deliver complete solutions
Incorporating the impacts of climate change into our solutions, we are leading the way in sustainable remediation and engineering and have an established track record delivering successful projects of all sizes around the world, across a multitude of sites, land uses and sectors — chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, roads and rail, oil and gas, mines and quarries, industrial and brownfield sites, commercial developments and residential buildings. Where appropriate our remediation experts can apply advanced tools and technologies to design and implement on-site remediation solutions.
