Land Remediation Services
Historically, widespread asbestos use, poor waste management, and inadequate demolition practices have resulted in Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) being present in soil or made ground at many brownfield sites, and occasionally greenfield sites. This contamination often requires specialist soil remediation services to ensure safety and compliance.
Why Land Remediation?
Inner City Environmental (ICE) has successfully delivered numerous remediation projects involving the investigation, assessment, and design for the control, management, and remediation of soil contaminated with asbestos.
Legislation and industry best practices continue to evolve to address the growing awareness of the risks associated with asbestos in soils. This is increasingly reflected in the controls and requirements during site investigation, risk assessment, and actual on-site works.
Asbestos in Soil and Made Ground
ACMs may have been:
- Buried intact
- Broken up and mixed with other demolition waste
- Imported to site as a contaminant in recycled aggregate or made ground fill material
Most demolition materials, and many made ground materials, contain at least trace elements of asbestos, making professional remediation critical.
Asbestos Remediation
Legislation governing asbestos works is far more stringent than that for standard soil and groundwater contamination. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 sets out clear and unambiguous responsibilities for all parties, including landholders and clients (Duty Holders). You cannot delegate your responsibility to a consultant or contractor.
ICE will safely remove contaminants from the ground to ensure the area is completely asbestos-free. This guarantees that any future works can proceed without spreading contamination or putting construction workers’ health at risk.
We carry out extensive background monitoring and soil sampling during removals to ensure no fibres are released into the air and that the ground is fully compliant and asbestos-free.
