 Earth Environmental & Geotechnical provide a Comprehensive range of Radon Detection and Monitoring Services. Radon exposure is a serious risk to health. Residential, commercial, and future developments need to know if there is a risk of radon exposure, or if radon exposure is occurring.

If so then you’ll need to comply with building regulations and probably planning permission from your local authority and will probably need a Basement Impact Assessment. Basement conversions can add valuable space to your property or development, but ensuring the proposed basement development is appropriate is essential.  Your development will need to ensure, not only your local planning department are happy with your proposal, but also Building Regulations, Environmental Health standards and Utility Provider requirements are being met.

  It’s been a very busy few months for Chris and the team at   Earth Environmental & Geotechnical’s North East (EEGNE)   Office.

Earth Environmental & Geotechnical were commissioned to undertake a ground investigation in Bristol and to inform a new Environmental Permit Application at a Green Waste Composting Facility located in Yate. The proposed site was used historically as a Colliery and as agricultural land prior to the current user. To inform the Environmental Permit Application, our client required a survey to understand baseline environmental conditions for soils, groundwater, and ground gas across the assessment site.

  Earth Environmental was commissioned to undertake a deep window sample borehole ground investigation and   basement impact assessment   at an existing property in London. The property had limited access for a proposed deep basement development (circa 6-8m) Access to the drilling locations required all drilling equipment to be transported through the occupied property which excluded many typical drilling techniques (which often require vehicle access as a minimum). Using our knowledge of advances in window sample drilling technology, and experience of limited access works in London, EEGSL organized specialist drilling contractors to attend the site and complete two modular window sample boreholes across the site to depths of 10mbgl.

Earth Environmental is pleased to announce it’s the new location for their Bath Office. From Monday 30 th   November the new office will be located at Studio 3, Tollbridge Studios, Toll Bridge Road, Bath, BA1 7DE. Tel:   07465220782 It’s been another fantastic year for Simon Leat and the team at Earth Environmental & Geotechnical Bath Office. The growth in business and new projects has resulted in the need to expand. The new office location is ideally suited to provide the full range of Environmental and  Geotechnical assessment , auditing, monitoring, and remediation services across the South West Region, with easy access to the M5 and M4. The team has been involved in a wide range of geo-environmental projects and ground investigation projects and have recently expanded their radon monitoring and detection services. The South West’s natural challenges include high radon levels, particularly in the moorland regions of Dartmoor, Exmoor, Blackmoor Bodmin Moor, and the Wendron Moors,

More than 50% of construction projects are delayed by adverse site conditions or unexpected ground conditions. Conducting detailed Site Investigation / Ground Investigations can save you time and money. There are many reasons development can be delayed, but one of the key factors that will affect development is knowing what you are building on. In order to understand the impact of the proposed development, a clear understanding of the site's ground conditions is required.  See More:- https://www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/conducting-ground-investigation-site-investigations/

  Another Mineshaft collapsed this month in Chesterfield, highlighting the dangers of historic coal mining activity. The hole appears to be a former mine shaft that collapsed in the undergrowth to the left of the second hole at Chesterfield Golf Club. https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/news/thorough-investigations-after-ground-collapse-chesterfield-3061618 https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/news/warning-after-former-mine-shaft-collapses-chesterfield-3060247 “The hole measures around 3m at the surface and its depth extend beyond sight even with the use of a torch.” Each year an average of 15 mine shafts collapse in the UK, roads have been damaged, causing disruption, and buildings destroyed. Luckily the Chesterfield Golf Club collapse was in an area where golfers would not be playing. This collapse once again highlights historic coal mining activity can be a real risk to developments, and having a clear understanding of the ground conditions of your development is essential.

From 2011 the Coal Authority formalized its requirements in relation to planning applications. In England, Scotland, and Wales's new terminology relating to Coal Mining Development areas was introduced. If your site is in a Development High-Risk Area you will need to submit a Coal Mining Risk Assessment to your Local Planning Authority. Earth Environmental & Geotechnical are competent in completing Coal Mining Risk Assessments with extensive knowledge of commercial, residential, and industrial properties.

Subsurface Ground Investigation Services are routinely conducted as part of the assessment of the GeoEnvironmental status of a site. This may include any landfill/ground gas issues, soil/groundwater contamination, assessment of mine workings, hydrogeology, slope stability assessment or to examine geotechnical conditions for a new structure or landform.  See More:- https://www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/ground-investigation-services/
