Remediation Verification
When planning your next project, our experts can ensure you remain compliant with remediation legislation and provide the necessary paperwork to verify your compliance.
After undergoing checks and precautions on your site, you may have found a number of obstacles. In these instances, a remediation strategy can highlight the issues present and offer a path towards fixing them. It’s vital that these issues be fixed before development continues. To ensure this happens, you will need remediation verification, confirming you have a plan in place to fix any issues.
Purpose
Like many areas of ground assessment, the benefits remediation verification brings don’t just cover your own interests, but help to uphold legal requirements and minimise security risks. By implementing a remediation plan, you can address issues with your ground conditions.
Structural damage can occur for a range of reasons, many of which are beyond your control, such as deliberate damage or extreme weather. However, it can fall on you if you fail to fix known land issues during development. Failure to address issues such as liquefaction, poor soil drainage or weak soils can leave you responsible for damages further down the line.
Remediation also helps you prevent contaminated land. It’s possible that your ground assessments found dangerous pollutants on land. This includes heavy metals, chemicals and organic pollutants. These can pose health risks to people working on the site or to anyone who may reside there in the future.
To achieve remediation verification, a plan must be put in place to fix these issues, ensuring you deliver on the set goals to improve the ground conditions. We can help you establish a remediation plan and implement the improvements necessary to receive verification.
Process
After identifying key issues across your investigations, we will assist you in meeting the goals required to achieve verification status.
We use information gathered from testing, as well as any reports to get a clear view of what needs improving on site. Using this, we create a remediation strategy outlining key actions to mitigate the risk of future issues. The plan should also highlight the benefits the improvements will have on human health, the environment and the safety of your development.
Once we have all the permissions needed to execute your plan, we can assist you in resolving the issues at hand. Once these issues are addressed, we can also redo any tests and investigations. This should be done before requesting verification, so that any existing or newly identified issues can be addressed.
After verification, you can proceed with development in line with your initial plan, now fully compliant.
