Five capabilities, one site team.
From first sample to final handback — and, for golf courses, driving ranges, ski slopes and equestrian centres, a funding model that turns required soil import into an ongoing revenue line.
Contaminated land remediation
Site investigation, risk assessment and in-situ or ex-situ treatment of hydrocarbon, metal and mixed contamination, run to a regulator-facing methodology from first sample to sign-off.
- Desk study and conceptual site model before any ground is touched
- Intrusive investigation and laboratory testing to confirm the extent of contamination
- Treatment method chosen on the evidence, not by default — in-situ where it works, excavation where it's genuinely needed
- Verification sampling and a closure report the site can be relied on
Brownfield reclamation & reinstatement
Former industrial, colliery and infill land brought back to a buildable or plantable standard, with materials handled and classified correctly at every stage.
- Clearance of legacy structures, foundations and buried debris
- Ground gas and geotechnical assessment ahead of any development
- Materials management plans that keep suitable material on site rather than sending it to landfill
- Final levels and soil profile set to whatever the next use of the land requires
Leisure & sports facility restoration
Golf courses, driving ranges, dry ski slopes and equestrian centres reshaped and reinstated over treated or imported ground, phased around a live operation so members and visitors keep using the facility while the work goes on beneath their feet.
Beyond the remediation itself, this work often opens up options an operator wouldn't otherwise have: recovered soil brought in from other sites can be used to reshape or raise ground at low material cost, and land that needs altering to build a new feature — a mound, a bank, an arena base — can generate income while it's being built, rather than just costing money. Facility types we work with include:
- Golf courses — fairway and green reprofiling, mounding and drainage correction
- Driving ranges — tee bank and target green mounding, landing-area contouring and bay reshaping
- Dry ski slopes & snow centres — earth mounding to build the graded profile a slope requires
- Equestrian centres — arena base construction, gallops and cross-country mound building
Scope typically runs from initial ground investigation through to final surface establishment:
- Targeted investigation to map existing contamination without disrupting use of the facility
- In-situ treatment or managed import, sequenced zone-by-zone or bay-by-bay
- Regrading and profiling to build the levels, falls or mounds the facility needs, using recovered soil where it qualifies
- Topsoil dressing, seeding, turfing or surfacing, handed back to the operator's own team for establishment
- Full documentation for the facility operator and their insurers
Waste recovery & compliance liaison
Recovered soils and aggregates routed back into the project wherever they qualify, with waste classification and duty-of-care documentation handled in-house.
- Waste classification (hazardous and non-hazardous) carried out before material leaves the site
- Duty-of-care paperwork and waste transfer records kept for the client's file, not just ours
- Direct liaison with the Environment Agency where permits, exemptions or permissions are involved
- Backed by the group's existing waste management infrastructure rather than third-party hauliers
Post-completion monitoring & handover
Remediation doesn't end at reinstatement — we stay attached to a site long enough to prove it's holding.
- Follow-up monitoring visits to confirm treated ground is stable and turf or planting is establishing
- A closure pack handed to the client, their insurers, or their lender as required
- A single point of contact for anything that surfaces after handback
Facility upgrades funded through soil recovery — and a royalty that keeps earning after.
Golf courses, driving ranges, ski slopes and equestrian centres often need to bring soil onto site to alter it — building mounds, raising tee banks, levelling an arena, shaping a slope. Traditionally that material is simply bought in, at cost. Under an Environment Agency permit, the same requirement can instead be met with inert soil arising from construction sites elsewhere, which has to go somewhere — traditionally landfill, at real cost and real environmental impact to the party disposing of it.
Handled correctly, that shifts the economics of a project in two ways. First, rather than the operator paying to import fill material, a licensed site can charge for accepting it — offsetting or even funding the wider facility upgrade around it. Second, once the site is an approved reception point, it can continue to command a royalty on every tonne received for as long as the permit and the import programme remain active — turning ground that needed altering anyway into a genuine ongoing income line, not just a one-off saving.
That royalty is agreed with the licensed hauliers and importers bringing material onto site, and is separate from — and on top of — whatever the reshaped ground itself goes on to earn once it's back in use.
Feasibility & permitting
Pre-application appraisal and liaison with the local planning authority and Environment Agency to establish whether a site qualifies for an engineered soil reuse scheme.
Managed import
Inert soil brought onto site under permit by licensed hauliers, classified and tracked in line with duty-of-care requirements throughout.
Construction & reshaping
Recovered material used to raise, reshape or restore ground — reducing or removing the need for new material to be bought in.
Facility upgrade
Revenue generated from the managed import offsets the cost of the wider development, from drainage to new playing surfaces.
Ongoing royalty income
A per-tonne royalty on material received continues for as long as the site remains an active, licensed reception point — income that carries on well beyond the initial construction phase.
A charge levied per load or per tonne as material is accepted on site — the more immediate, transactional side of managed import, agreed directly with hauliers and importers.
A recurring return on the volume of material received over the life of the permit — the mechanism that turns a single funded project into a longer-term revenue relationship for the landowner.
If your site needs soil to alter it, the requirement itself can be the funding.
Fairway and green reprofiling, mounding and drainage correction — using imported soil to fund the wider course upgrade.
Tee bank and target green mounding, landing-area contouring, and bay reshaping, paid for by the material accepted on site.
Dry slope and snow-centre earth mounding — the graded profile a slope needs, built from permitted, managed import.
Arena base construction, gallops and cross-country mound building, funded through a licensed soil reception scheme.
