Developing Effective Remediation Strategies: Protecting Sites, People and Projects
When contamination is identified during a Phase 2 Site Investigation, it is essential to outline how the risks will be managed before development proceeds. This is where a well-defined Remediation Strategy becomes critical.
A Remediation Strategy provides a clear and justified plan for addressing contamination in line with regulatory expectations, particularly the Environment Agency’s guidance: Land Contamination: Risk Management (LCRM). It ensures that risks to human health, property, controlled waters and the wider environment are reduced to an acceptable level, while supporting the safe and sustainable development of land.
At Dunelm Geotechnical & Environmental, we work closely with clients, contractors, design teams and regulators to produce pragmatic and robust remediation strategies tailored to the specific needs of each project.
What Our Remediation Strategy Covers
- Site Details and Proposed Development
- Summary of Previous Site Investigations
- Objectives of the Remediation Works
- Options Appraisal
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Verification Procedures and Assessment Criteria
- Gas Protection Strategy and Verification Plan (Where Required)
This structured approach helps ensure that risks are understood, managed appropriately, and verified throughout the development process.
