Environmental Consulting for Regulatory Agencies

Ecology Centre, London Borough of Islington

We were commissioned to carry out a contamination status assessment of former railway sidings adjacent to the ecology centre and provide our opinion as to the suitability of opening this part of the site to members of the public. A desk study and site walkover were carried out and followed up with a hand auger survey and testing of soils. The contamination assessment assessed the site based on the proposed open space land use and included proposals for further works and design considerations required to allow the proposed land use to proceed.

Part 2A Support 

We can provide expert witness advice to local authorities and general advice and support to assist local authorities on implementing Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.  We are commissioned to provide consultancy support on an as needed basis to the London Borough of Camden.
