Contaminated land assessment

Contaminated land assessment is a process used to identify, evaluate, and understand the presence of pollutants in soil, water, or structures on a piece of land. It involves investigating the site to determine the extent and severity of contamination, its potential impact on health and the environment, and deciding whether the land needs cleaning or remediation. This assessment is essential for safe development, ensuring that any risks are managed or mitigated before land is used for housing, industry, or agriculture.
