Contamination Investigation for Former Gas Works Site

Ruddlesden geotechnical has been working at a former gas works in north Devon, where taking it steady and collaborating with others is paying dividends.

On site where the client was unusually keen to spend money, we have suggested reviewing the findings of the initial intrusive investigation first, and updating our conceptual site model (CSM), which may allow us to modify and hopefully reduce the scope of the more detailed, subsequent intrusive investigation.

We have also been grateful to receive technical support from H Fraser Consulting on this heavily contaminated former gas works site, providing specialist advice on contamination hydrogeology, which could potentially be quite complex.
