Waste

We were commissioned to carry out geotechnical and contamination assessment for development of this former industrial site (including an abattoir constructed on several metres of made ground), for the change of use to the current material recycling facility and waste transfer station. Our involvement on this project included investigation for geotechnical and contamination purposes (including anthrax testing). We were subsequently employed to validate the bioremediation undertaken on site and confirm that clean up criteria had been achieved.

Landfill Investigations

We regularly undertake ground investigations and monitoring of former landfill sites, including the provision of advice on the suitability for development on or in the vicinity of landfill and for assessing ground gas risks to proposed and existing development.

Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) Testing

We regularly undertake waste acceptance criteria sampling and testing of soils from development sites. Testing can be undertaken on a stand alone basis or as part of a geotechnical and or contamination investigation. We also provide guidance and interpretation for waste disposal purposes.

Site Waste Management Plans (SWMP)

The Site Waste Management Plans Regulations, 2008, require a Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) to be prepared and implemented for all construction projects with an estimated cost greater than £300,000 excluding VAT. The SWMP must record details of the construction project, estimates of the types and quantities of waste that will be produced, and confirmation of the actual waste types generated and how they have been managed. More detailed reporting requirements apply to projects exceeding £500,000.

We can assist with the preparation of SWMP templates for this purpose and design of SWMPs as required.
