Phase Three Remediation and Validation

If significant levels of contamination are identified by the Phase One and Two investigations, developments do not necessarily stop. A site specific Remediation Method Statement can be designed, which, subject to LPA approval, can allow development to proceed. Methods of remedial works can include the following: Excavation and replacement, Strategic emplacement of hard cover, Utilising ground gas ingress prevention techniques, Pump and dispose/treatment of groundwater. Validation of the remediation is subsequently undertaken to ensure that the method statement has been followed, this usually comprises further testing to confirm contamination has been removed.
