Role Environmental Consultants
ASL operated as geo-environmental consultants for this brownfield redevelopment of a former fuel depot in Nuneaton. Hydrocarbon contamination was contained at the site within a concrete bunded area that had been filled with demolition rubble and soils.
A systematic remediation exercise was required to remove impacted soils whilst recovering suitable material for reuse on site. The site is proposed to be redeveloped for a residential end use comprising residential apartments.
The works completed by ASL comprise the following:
- Assessment of the site’s history and environmental setting
- A site wide intrusive investigation
- Construction of groundwater monitoring wells
- Design of chemical testing regime to characterise the site conditions and investigate potential contamination issues
- Interpretation and quantitative assessment of results for contamination issues
- Design and implementation of a remediation strategy and environmental monitoring programme for the site
- Liaison with regulatory authorities to obtain sign off of the relevant planning conditions
