Research by topic: Regeneration and contaminated land

Projects underway

This project has been designed to bring real change to the industry through a series of events and other tools.

Perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) in soil and water environments

This project will produce guidance to improve awareness and understanding of PFAS and legislations, helping practitioners to understand their responsibilities and liabilities as well as support them in managing risk.

Innovative site investigation hub

This project will keep contaminated land practitioners, regulators and other stakeholders up-to-date with latest development, understand the benefits and limitations, theory and practical, safe and cost effective application of these new approaches

Good practice on the use of geophysics in site investigation

Geophysics has been used in ground, geotechnical and contaminated land site investigation for many years. Yet there are still misunderstandings around their application within the sector.

Sustainable management of surplus soils and aggregates

This project looks to develop an interactive document which will look at the site activity in question, contain useful information and highlight areas of common mistakes/confusion.

Community of Practice - Sustainable management of soil

This project will create a community of practice which will undertake a number of activities to support long term good practice in the sustainable management of soil.

Project proposals

P3266 - A good practice guide for managing changing climate and contaminated land projects

This project will produce guidance that focuses on the effects of climate change on soil or land contamination practice.

Good practice on the use of geophysics in site investigation

Geophysics has been used in ground, geotechnical and contaminated land site investigation for many years. Yet there are still misunderstandings around their application within the sector.

P3190 eTraining for hazardous ground gas

Hazardous ground gases is a major problems to many brownfield sites. However it is probably an area where there are many guidance and training available.

P3254 - A client’s guide for managing ground gases in modular buildings

This project will produce a short guide highlighting: how ground gas will affect the design and construction of foundation, drainage and other underground structures in modular buildings.

P3177 Extreme climate incidents and contaminated land interest group

The question is ‘Will extreme climate incidents have any impact on the way that we currently reuse brownfield sites particularly those that are contaminated?’
