At Scurator Ltd we are able to assess the geotechnical and environmental constraints that can affect a potential development. We also provide budget costings for any remediation work that may be required to render the development site suitable for our clients' needs.

The geo-environmental team are able to offer the following services:

• Desk studies
• Mining investigations
• Geo-environmental appraisals
• Land risk assessments
• Specifications for remedial works
• Foundation designs
• Consultancy support during remediation works
• Validation of remediation works
• Obtaining approvals from relevant authorities

As with all developments it is usually the risks within the ground that can create excessive abnormal costings for a potential developer. These risks can be greatly reduced by undertaking appropriate ground investigation in the form of a desk study, intrusive investigation and an environmental appraisal, in order to assess the financial implications before a site is purchased.

Alongside the geotechnical and environmental investigations we are able to provide our clients with a fixed price for any remediation works required on a development site.

We have experience in applying the following environmentally sensitive remediation techniques, which ensure the least possible damage to the local and global environment:

• Ground improvement
• Containment of contamination utilising below ground barriers
• In-situ and ex-situ bio remediation
• Excavation with on-site and off-site treatment or disposal
• Soil washing and groundwater treatment
• Natural and enhanced attenuation
• Bulk earthworks
• Demolition

Our engineering system is absolutely essential for developers who require information for abnormal costs when purchasing land. Our one stop shop approach allows us to manage the geo-environmental issues, utilising the above techniques to deliver a development platform that has been processed in accordance with current guidelines.
