CONTAMINATED LAND GROUP

This group is chaired by Peter Atchison from PA GeoTechnical  with Richard Puttock of Stantec and Jane Thrasher of Jacobs as vice chairs. 

Britain’s industrial heritage has left a legacy of contaminated land sites and since the 1990s legislation and planning law has required its clean-up. As a result, the UK has a world-class land remediation industry.

EIC’s Contaminated Land group explores the issue in detail championing brownfield development across the UK. The group brings together members working across the sector, consultants, contractors, and the laboratories that carry out soil testing by producing innovative yet tangible proposals to encourage brownfield, responds to government consultations, holds events, writes articles for industry press, and regularly welcomes policymakers and industry experts as guests.

The group has successfully campaigned for a brownfield first approach to development, spearheaded an award-winning campaign to stop land remediation tax relief, and contributed to setting technical standards around the treatment of asbestos in soils.
