Risk assessments

Our ground gas and vapour risk assessments help protect developments from hazardous ground gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and VOCs. We offer:

• Bespoke gas monitoring solutions
• Site classification and mitigation strategies
• Passive and continuous gas monitoring
• Bulk gas analysis
• Gas protection system design and verification

We provide accurate, reliable data to ensure safe and compliant developments.

• We deliver detailed contaminated land assessments to identify and manage potential contamination risks, ensuring compliance with Land Contamination Risk Management (LCRM) frameworks. Our services include:
• Generic and detailed quantitative risk assessments (GQRA & DQRA)
• Conceptual site models (CSM)
• Risk evaluations for human health and controlled waters

Whether for development viability, planning conditions, or due diligence, our assessments provide clear, actionable insights for informed decision-making.

Understanding ground conditions is essential for structural integrity and long-term stability. Our geotechnical risk assessments include:

• Ground investigations
• Foundation appraisals
• Bearing capacity calculations
• Slope stability analysis

Using advanced ground modelling techniques, we provide tailored design recommendations for floor slabs, highways, retaining structures, and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), ensuring efficient and robust construction solutions.

For developments in coal mining high-risk areas, we provide coal mining risk assessments (CMRA) to identify potential hazards such as mine entries, shallow workings, and subsidence risks. Our desk-based assessments utilise:

• Historical mining records
• Geological data
• Risk analysis and mitigation strategies

We ensure compliance with Coal Authority requirements and planning conditions, supporting safe and stable development.
