Dig, Diagnose, Deliver: Site Investigations and Remediation

Summary

Brownfield Development from Constraint to Construction

This CPD session explores how ground risk is managed from pre-planning through to construction, supporting planning approval, build quality and successful site closure, using real project examples.

It covers:

• Phase 1 Desk Study – identifying planning constraints, abnormal costs and programme risk
• Phase 2 Site Investigation – generating construction-relevant data to reduce uncertainty
• Remediation and Earthworks Strategy – delivering buildable, cost-effective solutions aligned with planning conditions
• Validation and Build-Phase Quality Control – verifying gas protection, garden cover systems and radon measures on site
• Materials Re-use and DoWCoP MMP – enabling sustainable re-use of site-won materials while maintaining programme certainty

The session demonstrates how geo-environmental assessment underpins planning, construction decision-making and risk management on brownfield developments.
