An electricity cable needed diverting under a river. As part of the works we provided a topographic and river hydrographic survey and completed a comprehensive Health and Safety Plan, Method Statements and Risk Assessments. . See More:- https://bit.ly/2MYhc96

PHASE 1 DESK STUDY

Much of the time, we attempt to consult with the applicable local authority Contaminated Land or Environmental Unit. . In any case, now and then a response can't be gotten inside a short period. Subsequently, we may send the details of this counsel separate from the report. A Basic Report can normally be issued inside 1 working day of receipt of installment. .

Are your plans undermined? How a Coal Mining Risk Assessment can help

If you’re buying a property or land for development, particularly for a proposed planning application, you need to know whether it’s affected by coal mining activity.   In July 2011, The Coal Authority formalised its requirements in relation to planning applications in England, Scotland and Wales for all except householder developments. Earth Environmental & Geotechnical has completed many Coal Mining Risk Reports for residential, commercial and industrial properties, and has extensive experience in relating these risk assessments to planning applications. Coal mining was a widespread, major industry that drove the industrial revolution and two World Wars - consumption peaked in 1913 at 287 million tonnes, and virtually disappeared following the industry’s collapse after 1970.  There are several ways of extracting coal.  Open pit methods are used where coal strata strike the surface or are relatively shallow. Underground, or deep mining began to develop e...

Radon Detection and Monitoring - dealing with a problem that’s invisible and potentially life-threatening.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas; it is colourless and odourless but can have serious health implications. The main danger from high radon exposure is an increased risk of lung cancer. Radon is the single largest source of radiation exposure for most people.  Studies have linked breathing high concentrations of radon with lung cancer. Radon is linked with approximately 1,100 lung cancer deaths each year in the UK, and is estimated to be responsible for 10% of lung cancer deaths in the UK. It is the second most frequent cause of lung cancer next to smoking. And the number one cause for non-smokers. According to the Swedish Radiation Protection Institute the hazard risk of radon gas radiation far outweighs that of the Chernobyl incident. It’s plain to see why dependable radon detection and radon monitoring services, such as the comprehensive radon services provided by the experts at Earth Environmental and Geotechnical , is highly important to developers....
