FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Despite the recent uncertainty in the UK property market, brownfield redevelopment continues to provide good opportunities for the construction industry. This year’s CIRIA Annual Contaminated Land Conference - brownfield redevelopment: a good practice show case includes expert speakers and facilitators from a broad spectrum of disciplines and sectors relating to remediation and redevelopment.
The conference offers the opportunity to network and share knowledge with others in the industry and includes a number of presentation, workshops, discussion sessions and an exhibition.
Attendees will learn about major changes in risk assessment and waste management issues; find out how good practice can be applied to remediation projects; and explore how issues such as flooding has affected the way that contaminated land is managed.
