Risk Assessment

 
Environmental risk assessments are becoming a more frequent requirement as part of the commercial land purchasing process. Pre-acquisition or due diligence surveys now a common demand by investors to satisfy concerns about financial/environmental liabilities arising from residual contamination from previous land usage affecting either soils or groundwater. In addition geotechnical risks are well recognised as being fundamental in assessing to prevent serious delays and 'unforeseen' cost increases on any project.
 
Geo-Environmental
Here at Geotechnical Developments (UK) Ltd our specialist engineers and scientists are able to carry out Qualitative and Quantitative Geo-Environmental risk assessments that conform to Local Authority and EA requirements. In doing so we are then able to prepare clear well structured investigation and remediation strategies to enable you the client to develop the site safely and cost effectively.
 
Geotechnical
The geotechnical risks on any site can be established ie. existing or potential as a result of the form of development proposed. These risks can vary from slope stability, shrinkable clays through to deep and shallow mine problems.  Prior to stepping on site we are able to draw on our GIS database and other reliable data sources to identify potential geotechnical risks. In doing so we are then able to design an appropriate investigation to identify and quantify the risks and design appropriate solutions to reduce or prevent geotechncal problems from occurring.
