The Problem
The Environmental Agency in the UK estimates that approximately 300,000 hectares of land spread across 100,000 sites - suffer from contamination as a result of previous activity on that land.
​
According to the Environmental Protection Act, land is deemed contaminated when polluting substances are present at levels which may cause direct or indirect harm to humans, animals, vegetation or even structures.
​
To maintain profitability when developing on contaminated land, remediation must be carried out efficiently, safely, as cost-effectively
as possible, and in compliance with all existing
regulatory requirements.
