Geotechnical, Mineral, Waste Management and Environmental Consultants for Yorkshire, the North of England and the UK

Developers

Developers employ Silkstone to carry out site investigations of land they are considering purchasing (or have purchased) for development. Drivers for such investigations include commercial aspects that affect the value of the land, and planning requirements imposed by regulatory bodies. Risks that need to be addressed include the previous use of the site, the design of foundations, and risks posed by factors such as underground mining, flooding, and the proximity of waste sites, which may produce noxious gas. Silkstone has carried out several investigations of this nature and where problems have become apparent, we have been able to advise on the appropriate measures to counter them.
