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.

This project will produce the first UK interactive aid/tool in smart phones or tablets for ground workers and other site workers dealing with asbestos contaminated materials on site.

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

UXO through the Construction Cycle – A good practice guidance and toolbox talks

This project will provide training materials for site operatives and ground workers to manage UXOs more efficiently in land projects

Contaminated sediments - a good practice guide for the UK

This project will provide a good practice guide on contaminated sediments, which examines how practitioners can use existing reports, and develop practical guidance for the UK.

Project proposals

P3131 - Perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) in brownfield sites
