Geo-environmental and Contaminated Land Consultancy
As part of the mission to provide total ground solutions Emerson Moore has extensive experience in dealing with the technical and legal issues surrounding development and remediation of contaminated land. Recent projects undertaken both in the UK and Europe include investigation and risk assessments for development of petrol station sites, Phase 1 and Phase 2 investigations for brownfield development and hydrogeological risk assessments for IPPC certification of existing and proposed landfill sites.
The 'one stop shop' philosophy ensures that both site works and consulting is carried out to the high standards required when dealing with sensitive and contaminated sites.
Our fields of expertise include:
Pre-purchase and post purchase investigationsWe are experienced in carrying out desk studies and investigations to determine the presence of contamination and associated risks and liabilities.

Risk Assessment
Where significant contamination is encountered Emerson Moore has the skills and software to carry out full risk assessments for both human health and groundwater receptors.
Remediation Design
The ever more stringent regulations make the appropriate and cost effective remediation of contaminated land a vital part of brownfield development. Often the traditional techniques of 'dig and dump' are now probitively expensive making the correct choice of remediation technique essential to cost effective development. Our personel and consultants have extensive experience in the majority of both in-situ and ex-situ remediation techniques.
Validation of remediation
Emerson Moore provides the full service from initial desk study to design and validation of remediation solutions.
Hydrogeological Risk AssessmentsEmerson Moore has the skills to carry out full groundwater risk assessments for both contaminated land and landfill sites, including IPPC permitting. All stages of risk assessment can be carried out from simple assessments of risk to groundwater through to advanced finite element modelling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport. |
