Remediation Strategy
A Remediation Strategy sets out how identified contamination risks will be addressed to make a site suitable for its proposed use. Building on the findings of site investigations and risk assessments, we develop proportionate, achievable remediation solutions that protect human health, controlled waters and the wider environment.
Our strategies are designed to be technically robust while remaining practical to implement on site, supporting planning approvals and efficient project delivery.
What this Service Includes
- Review of site investigation and risk assessment findings
- Definition of remediation objectives and compliance criteria
- Evaluation of feasible remediation options
- Selection of proportionate, site-specific remediation measures
- Proportionate, site-specific remediation measures
- Assessment of risks to human health and controlled waters
- Sustainability, practicality and cost considerations
- Regulator-ready remediation strategy
Our Approach
Our remediation strategies follow a structured, risk-based methodology aligned with recognised UK guidance and best practice.
Our approach includes:
Clear definition of remediation objectives
Proportionate selection of remediation techniques
Integration with development design and construction methods
Practical recommendations that can be delivered on site
Transparent reporting to support regulatory approval
We work closely with clients, contractors and regulators to ensure remediation is efficient, compliant and aligned with project programmes.
Why a Remediation Strategy is Essential
A robust remediation strategy is essential to demonstrate that contamination risks can be effectively managed and that land will be suitable for its intended use. It provides the basis for planning approval, regulatory sign-off and successful site redevelopment.
By defining clear, achievable remediation measures at an early stage, projects can progress with confidence, reduced risk and controlled costs.
