Contaminated & Brownfield Land

Aqua Terra prides itself on providing strategic, innovative support to developers of contaminated and brownfield sites. Our roots as a company are in the investigation, assessment, and clean-up of contaminated land. We deliver strategic support from pre-application due diligence and feasibility, through the planning and build process culminating in validation and verification services. Services include but are not limited to:

  • Phase 1 desk study assessments (preliminary risk assessment).

  • Intrusive (Phase 2) ground investigation – including drilling, trial pitting, laboratory testing, in-situ testing and analysis.

  • Land quality risk assessment across the full range of complexity, from simple screening of environmental data to detailed quantitative risk assessment of groundwater and human health (DQRA).

  • Land gas and vapour investigation and assessment.

  • Remediation strategy and remediation options appraisals.

  • Remediation (construction) phase support.

  • Validation testing and verification.

  • Public inquiry and expert witness services

We have worked on the full range of contaminated sites, from petrol filling stations to gas works, from collieries to Ministry of Defence sites and everything in between.
