Contaminated land project management skills

23 October 2008, Cambridge

The problem

Under the various current contaminated land regulatory regimes, different parties involved in the management of purchasing, redeveloping, insuring and remediation of contaminated land all have varying levels of knowledge, responsibilities and expectations for how the process should be completed. The UK framework for managing contaminated land is similarly varied depending on the stakeholder role or financial, liability and regulatory driver. The variation in operational, regulatory and stakeholder expectations is often one of the most difficult aspects to manage when implementing a contaminated land project.
