Peak Associates conduct Contaminated Land Survey in Merseyside

Investigation of Hydrocarbon Contamination - Merseyside

Peak Associates has been retained to investigate historic hydrocarbon contaminated encountered during development works (extension to an existing building) on one of our client's sites in Merseyside. Hydrocarbons were located in two different areas, and detailed analysis revealed two different sources. The presence of extensive underground services and an apparently very shallow hydraulic gradient make the determination of groundwater flow direction very difficult. Investigation is continuing to inform the development of a remedial strategy to clean up the site so that the development work can continue.
