Environmental Permitting - Ditchling
Remediation of Petrol Filling Station - Hackney
YourEnvironment were called in by an existing client to manage the remediation of a former petrol filling station.
We undertook the entire project from cradle to grave – from Phase 1: Desktop Study right through Intrusive Investigation, Remediation and Validation. We also negotiated with the local authority and Environment Agency to ensure that the project was successfully closed out to the satisfaction of all parties.
Remediation involved removal of several Underground Storage Tanks (UST’s) and source removal of hotspots. Additionally, groundwater treatment was designed, installed and operated.
Following remediation, a groundwater monitoring period was undertaken which confirmed that all contaminants had been remediated to acceptable levels.
GPR Surveying - Hounslow
YourEnvironment were commissioned to undertake a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey at Cavalry Barracks, Hounslow which is being extensively refurbished. The purpose of the GPR was to identify the runs of underlying services for future excavation as it was believed that the cables were possibly damaged.
YourEnvironment were able to offer a fixed price for the works, the services were marked on the ground with site data transferred on to a measured drawing for future reference and supplied to our client.
YourEnvironment were asked to provide Geotechnical testing to a backfilled void.
The works included negotiation with the client and land purchasers’ Environmental Consultant to agree a suitable backfill specification both chemically and geotechnically.
The validation works involved taking regular samples of the backfilled material for laboratory analysis and also providing in-situ Geotechnical testing in the form of Plate Tests with calculated CBR’s.
Geotechnical Testing in former Gasholder - Devon
Following the acquisition of a new recycling business, our client required a significant change to their permitting from and exempt activity to a bespoke Environmental Permit.
YourEnvironment provided all aspects of the permitting including creation of an environmental management system, drawings, completion of forms.
All of this work was undertaken on a fixed fee which ensured that the client could budget adequately for the activity.
We also used our contacts and reputation with the Environment Agency to ensure that the process was stress and pain free for our client.
Investigation and Remedial Strategy - Poplar
Redevelopment and refurbishment of the Brownfield Estate will completely transform the area from new homes, services, improved facilitates and better green spaces. In total £5m is being spent on redesign and improvement to all green and outside places, with new communal areas and opportunities for play to be created, as well as giving a much needed face-lift to all outside areas in Brownfield.
YourEnvironment were commissioned to review an existing site investigation report and undertake an intrusive investigation in order to confirm ground conditions and ascertain the possible presence of soil contamination in order to address planning conditions.
Works were carried out in private gardens as well as communal areas and therefore careful liaison and negotiation was undertaken with the residents and stakeholders prior to commencement of works. The intrusive investigation was planned to achieve minimal disturbance to the residents.
A significant number of trial pits were undertaken in locations of existing and proposed soft landscaping to provide samples for contamination testing.
Through pragmatic assessment of the findings in context of the proposed redevelopment scheme. A remedial strategy for the site was therefore recommended allowing the client to proceed with the groundworks stage.
