Site investigations

Site investigations aim to identify site characteristics and potential problem (e.g. contamination or old mine workings) before any construction commences.

The key environmental issues include:

• identification of ground contamination (and development of strategy to manage appropriately)
• identification of pre-existing structures (e.g. well and mine shafts)
• identification of SSSI's and endangered species (and reference to literature to manage appropriately)
• identification of wildlife which may be affected by construction (with reference to literature).
