In addition, we also undertake a variety of specialised investigations relevant to geotechnical and contaminated land assessments.

Contaminated Land Assessements

Land Science can assist with contaminated land assessments as part of a planning application or any other purpose prior or during house building, commercial development or creation of new infrastructure.

Land assessments are often required to assess soil contamination or groundwater pollution issues amongst a host of other potential problems. We assist at all phases of the assessment process with comprehensive desk studies, site investigations, contaminated land remediation and validation and post remediation monitoring.
