Contaminated Land Investigations

At JGI Geo-Services Ltd, we have extensive experience of the investigation and assessment of 'brownfield sites', from various factory and sewerage works, to former oil refineries, chemical works and gassing landfills. We can provide advice whether you are an existing land owner, a seller or a potential purchaser / developer of a site, including:

Initial Desk Study Assessments

Review of historical County Series & Ordnance Survey maps, to determine the recorded land use of the site and its environs.
Consideration of the geological, hydrological and hydrogeological setting of the site.
Inspection of the site by an experienced Geo-Environmental Engineer.
Formation of an initial Conceptual Site Model and assessment of potential environmental risks and liabilities based upon identified and potential source-pathway-receptor (target) linkages.

Intrusive Ground Investigations

Intrusive investigation of sites, including soil, groundwater and, as required, ground gas monitoring.
Laboratory testing of soils and waters, with comparison of the results to current guidance and legislation.

Risk Assessment

Qualitative and Quantitative Risk Assessment.

Remediation

Integrated environmental and engineering solutions, including pragmatic approaches for minimising off site disposal of materials, including bio-remediation, encapsulation, etc.
Preparation of specifications and method statements
Where required, consultation with statutory regulators including Local Authorities and the Environment Agency.
On site supervision of remedial works.
Production of validation and completion reports.
