Northern Ireland
Expert Environmental Consultancy for Safe, Compliant Projects
At OSM Environmental Consultancy, we provide expert risk assessment services for piling and foundation works throughout Northern Ireland. Our in-depth assessments ensure that foundation projects meet environmental regulations, mitigate risks, and avoid complications during construction.
Our assessments are undertaken in line with the EA, 2001 Piling and Penetrative Ground Improvement Methods on Land Affected by Contamination: Guidance on Pollution Prevention. This ensures that all piling and foundation works are carefully evaluated with respect to potential contamination, ensuring that the necessary precautions are taken to protect human health and the environment.
Site Assessment and Preliminary Risk Evaluation:
We begin with a thorough site evaluation to assess potential risks associated with the piling and foundation works. Our team reviews the site’s environmental history, existing contamination data, and potential hazards, providing an initial risk assessment.
Contamination Risk Assessment:
For sites where contamination may be present, we assess the potential impact of contaminants on foundation works. Our assessments cover risks related to soil, groundwater, and gas, ensuring that piling and foundation works are planned in a way that minimizes health and environmental risks.
Geotechnical and Chemical Assessment:
We conduct detailed analyses of soil composition and ground strata, identifying any contamination or geotechnical factors that could impact the safety or integrity of piling and foundation works. This includes soil sampling and laboratory analysis to detect any harmful substances.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA):
We carry out a comprehensive EIA to assess how piling and foundation works could affect the surrounding environment. This includes evaluating risks to local watercourses, ecosystems, and the surrounding infrastructure, ensuring that the proposed works will have minimal adverse impacts.
Regulatory Compliance and Guidance:
We provide expert guidance on regulatory compliance, ensuring that all risk assessments meet Northern Ireland’s environmental and health standards. Our team keeps clients informed on local regulations and helps them ensure their projects stay on track and compliant with the necessary requirements.
Mitigation Strategies:
Should risks be identified, we develop tailored risk mitigation strategies to ensure safe execution of piling and foundation works. Our team offers recommendations for addressing identified risks, from managing contaminated soil to preventing groundwater contamination.
