Services
Remedios offers a number of environmental consultancy and technology services. Remedios are experienced in carrying out investigations, risk assessments, and remediation strategies on a wide range of sites.
A number of Case Studies of previous projects we have conducted are available on our web site.
There are several phases of investigation that may be required to be undertaken on your site. These phases of site investigation are: Phase I (Desk-Top), Phase II (Intrusive), Phase III (Remediation) and Phase IV (Validation). Commonly, a Remedial Statement (or Strategy) will also be required prior to a Phase III and IV Site Investigation. If required, we can also co-ordinate geotechnical investigations at the same time as contaminated land investigations in order to minimise our customers costs. Further phases of investigation will cease to be necessary once it has been demonstrated that there are no significant risks to receptors (such as water environment or human health) from contaminants on, or arising from, the site of interest. Remedios can use specialist software/ tools to conduct risk assessments.
Remedios also specialise in ecological assessments, fugitive gas emission surveys, and environmental technologies.

A Phase I (Desk-Top Study) Site Investigation is the initial stage of environmental site investigation. It is used to characterise the past and present activities of a site which could have led to any potential contamination (sources) occurring.
Phase II Site Investigations are intrusive which involves collecting and analysing soil, water and gas samples (as appropriate) from the site. These investigations are typically in order to determine if contaminants of concern are present in the ground, and if potential receptors (such as future land-users and the wider environment) are, or could potentially be, exposed to them.
Normally for all remediation work in the UK the Regulatory Authorities will first require a 'remediation statement' (also referred to as a 'remedial strategy'). The remediation statement documents the various aspects of the remedial approach intended to occur in detail and should meet the regulatory requirements.
In order to ascertain the environmental risks and liabilities associated with new business transactions, environmental due diligence investigations are conducted. Remedios has extensive experience undertaking and reporting environmental due diligence investigations across a range of commercial and industrial sectors.
Ecological Risk Assessment is achieved by following a tiered process, which may integrate desk-top information with ecological surveys, soil sampling and bioassays. A conceptual site model is developed, and the significant risk of harm to an organism or ecosystem assessed.
Various industries today face the environmental challenge of reducing and preventing their fugitive emissions. This requirement may be in order to comply with current legislation and standards, to reduce their environmental impact both locally and globally, or to minimise the loss of valuable stocks.
Remedios has successfully employed the unique biosensor technology developed within the University for a wide range of clients. Such uses have included the provision of quicker, supplementary information to chemical analyses for Phase II, III and IV Site Investigations; and the assessment of soil samples to determine if bioremediation is a plausible remedial approach, and bioremediation progress.
