FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Soil contamination usually occurs as the result of industrial processes and waste disposal practices, with asbestos being one of the most common contaminants found on brownfield sites.  

Asbestos was widely used in the general construction, agricultural and commercial sectors until the late 1970s, and significant quantities still remain within properties today. Generally, if it is left undisturbed and is in good condition, it poses no issues. However, if during demolition, asbestos becomes dislodged, damaged and ends up in the soil and surrounding ground, it causes a potential and very costly environmental issue. 

Soil remediation is a process to remove or neutralise contaminants from the earth. This could be pollutants left behind by the land’s former use such as a factory, petrol forecourt or any other type of building. Contaminants are materials such as asbestos or other substances such as petrochemicals, all of which are harmful to both the environment and the proposed future occupants of the site. 

The length of a soil remediation project will depend on the area to be remediated, the contaminants within it and the extent of the contamination. Some projects can be completed within a matter of days, while others could be considerably longer. Projects must follow strict environmental guidelines to ensure work being undertaken is compliant.
