Land remediation plays a critical role in many construction jobs. It’s the process of cleaning up contaminated lands, usually, prior to building works to ensure that groundwater doesn’t become polluted and the area is safe to build on.
Ensure that land is free of contaminants is a regulatory requirement before it’s safe and legal to complete construction works. Failure to do so can result in fines and put back building works as the problem is rectified, which can end up costing more money in the long run.
It’s also essential that land remediation works are carried out by a qualified and experienced team to ensure that the land is returned to a satisfactory state. This is quite a common occurrence on lands that have once been used for manufacturing, especially where pollutants have been present.
Unremediated land can have a number of adverse effects on the surrounding wildlife, as well as any humans who reside or work in the area. This makes it of critical importance to ensure that nobody comes to any harm through failure to carry out a thorough risk assessment and take appropriate action as a result of the findings.
