Phase 2 intrusive geo-environmental investigations
Qualitative and quantitative site risk assessment
Remediation strategies, plus their implementation and validation

Audits & Emergency Response

We provide due diligence and risk assessments for:

Emergency response and containment services
Emergency or contingency strategy plans.

The assessment of risks and contingency strategy plans include site management compliance issues, contaminated land and asbestos.

We act on behalf of a range of clients including large industrial corporations, transportation providers, receivers, development companies and individual house owners.

Materials Management Planning

We generate Materials Management Plans, the vital tool that enables developers to bypass the need for an Environment Agency environmental permit or exemption from waste management licensing regulations. By implementing this plan, we support our clients in avoiding often time-consuming and cumbersome process of applying for these permits or exemptions.

At Curtins, we adhere to the CL:Aire Development Industry Code of Practice, which defines a materials management plan. This plan empowers developers to reuse both natural soils and made-ground, whether contaminated or otherwise. The benefits are twofold: significant cost savings and a more sustainable approach that reduces traffic movement.

With a number of people in our team registered as a CL:Aire qualified person, we are able to act as independent assessors of Materials Management Plans to comply with the requirements of the Environment Agency.

We are a Member of the Association of Geotechnical & Geoenvironmental Specialists (AGS) with recognised practitioners covering both specialisms.
