Comprehensive site investigations, comprising desk studies and fieldwork, are essential prior to the design and development of minerals extraction and landfill sites. Weaknesses in the initial investigations can give rise to costly remedial works or further studies at a later date.

Our skills and expertise in these areas are equally pertinent to contaminated land investigations, which forms an important part of our business.
Systems to control and manage landfill gas and leachate are key elements in the design, development and operation of landfill sites receiving active wastes. We are able to design cost-effective control systems and advise on the options that exist for the treatment and disposal of leachate and the management of landfill gas. Another important aspect in the design of minerals workings and landfill sites relates to the effective management and protection of surface waters in and around them.

We have considerable experience of preparing restoration and aftercare schemes to agriculture, woodland or amenity use. In addition, we are able to evaluate the quality of existing restoration works and propose remedial measures and improvements.
Our multi-disciplinary team is well qualified to undertake environmental assessments and audits, which are designed to evaluate the impacts of prospective and existing operations upon their surroundings. These might be undertaken as part of a pre-acquisition study or environmental review.
