Remediation and Validation

Coopers are vastly experienced in producing remediation strategies and designs of inert cover systems to remediate land both prior to and during development.  Our designs for sites proposed for varying end uses, including residential, are in accordance with BRE 465 and CLR guidance and are approved by Local Authorities and the NHBC.

Where developments have land quality planning conditions associated with contaminated land, our expertise include supervision and validation of the implementation of such designs, ensuring remediation works are completed as approved.  Our Validation Certificate provides a thorough and concise record of the remediation process which occurred on the specific plots.  The Certificates are generally produced on a plot by plot/block by block basis during the development programme.

Using our excellent relationships with Local Authorities and the NHBC, we have adopted an approved method of documenting validation of inert covers in brief Reports or Certificates for regulatory review.  The acceptance of such Reports/Certificates by regulatory bodies allows conditions to be reviewed on a plot by plot basis during construction.  Our approved method proves highly successful with rapid CML clearance and the ongoing completion of sales of plots prior to the end of the development.
