Case Studies - Contaminated Land

Land Contamination Habitats Regulations Assessment, East Midlands

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Eggborough

Westfield Shopping Towns & Lendlease Developments

The Delta-Simons team were appointed as the contaminated land consultants for the project. Delta-Simons commenced work on the site in April 2007 and continued until 2012.

Royal Albert Docks, London

Delta-Simons was appointed as the Geo-Environmental Specialist to review existing ground investigation data, produce a Preliminary Risk Assessment, Geo-Environmental Assessment, Remediation Strategy and Ground Conditions Chapter for an Environmental Statement to support the planning application for the site.

Environmental Permit Application Support - Baseline Site Conditions

Delta-Simons was instructed by the Client to determine and assess the baseline soil and groundwater conditions at their Site, in order to support a new application for a Part A(2) Environmental Permit.

Peat Re-Use & Materials Management

This desirable brownfield site in rural Cheshire presented complex ground risks as it is situated on a large peat deposit.

Earl of Romney Estate, Gayton Hall Farm, Kings Lynn

The client was redeveloping a former farm with housing.  Previous works by Delta-Simons had identified localised hydrocarbon contamination which warranted remediation to mitigate risks to future residents and to the principal aquifer below the Site.  The principal contractor for the redevelopment had appointed a specialist remediation subcontractor  to deliver a solution primarily involving stabilisation (immobilisation of contamination).  Following completion of the remediation works and with the development above slab level, weak record keeping and a bullish attitude to regulatory involvement had led to a potential breach of planning conditions and a risk of enforcement action.

Materials Management Support To Hydroelectric Scheme

Delta-Simons was asked by a Czech Hydroelectric Engineering company to characterise materials at two sites in the North West of England to provide advice on geo-environmental constraints and re-use or disposal options.

School Redevelopment, Ground Characterisation/Assessment

The Client was under contract to deliver a brand new 2,000 sq. m teaching block and extensive refurbishment of existing classrooms at a school in the east of England. Delta-Simons were brought in to provide a ground characterisation assessment.
