Environmental

Protecting human health and the environment are at the forefront of our environmental team’s work. They’re experts at identifying potential contaminants, and their source, which may impact your land and its potential development.

Engaging an environmental consultant early on means potential issues can be identified and solutions incorporated into construction programmes – reducing the potential for unexpected costs arising during construction and earthwork activities.

We undertake site testing, historical reviews, soil and groundwater analysis and reporting to ensure you have the correct and relevant information when beginning your development. Kirk Roberts’ contaminated land consultants are qualified and experienced practitioners (SQEPs). We provide best practice advice on contaminated land matters in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health (NES-CS 2011).

We have investigated and remediated contamination from historical landfills, large-scale residential developments, saw mills and timber treatment sites, chemical warehouses, sheep yards, farm pits and burn pads, asbestos, lead and arsenic-impacted soils, glass houses, orchards, market gardens, motor vehicle workshops and contamination from the petroleum industry.

We work closely alongside our structural, civil and geotechnical teams to ensure we identify environmental solutions that can be incorporated in the overall design of your projects.
