Land remediation aims to restore the land to an acceptable condition by resolving or treating problems caused by contamination in soil and water.
Land is legally defined as ‘contaminated’ in cases where substances are causing or could cause significant harm to people, property or protected species, as well as causing significant pollution to surface waters (e.g. lakes or rivers) or groundwater.
Land can become contaminated by a variety of substances, from heavy metals to agricultural waste.
The environmental, financial and legal implications of this can be substantial. The level of risk posed by contamination depends on the scenario. ST Demolition have undertaken many remediation projects covering contamination ranging from simple oil/fuel up to harmful levels of radionucleotides and mercury left over from scientific experiments.
