Contaminated Land and Groundwaters

Contaminated Land and Groundwaters assessment, collection, recycling treatment, recovery and disposal

The current and ongoing changes in environmental legislation greatly affect the remediation and development of land so it is imperative that you as a builder, developer or remediation company are fully aware of how the current legislation affects you. OEL offer a comprehensive service to ensure the correct, legal and most cost effective course of action.

Analysis

We are able to offer a bespoke testing and waste evaluation service for both contaminated land and contaminated groundwaters which not only provides a detailed analysis, including WAC, COD, Metals, TPH, VOC, and PAH to suit your individual requirements, but we will also advise on the actual waste designation, i.e. Hazardous or Non-Hazardous waste and then applying the Waste Hierarchy plus the accompanying Best Available Technique (BAT) advise you on the most cost effective and compliant solution for your waste recycling, recovery or disposal needs which can have dramatic cost reduction implications for your company.

Designation and Recycling / Treatment / Recovery / Disposal

Once we have established the designation of your waste:

  • Hazardous or Non-Hazardous Groundwaters
  • Hazardous Contaminated
  • Non-Hazardous Contaminated
  • Inert

We can then offer a bespoke package to suit your needs.

On-site soil management

This can include extraction, loading, transporting, treatment or disposal and subsequent remediation of the ground.
