Environmental Consultancy

In recent years, due to government policies, an increasing number of developments are being built on brownfield sites. Managing the risks of contaminated land can often determine the success of a project.

All work is undertaken in accordance with the latest guidelines (British Standards, Eurocodes, CLEA, Environment Agency, NHBC, CIRIA, BRE) so that all the approvals from the various statutory authorities may be readily obtained.
