Contaminated Land Remediation
Thursday 21st January 2021
As we continue to uncover the critical role of land in climate stability, sustainability has become a new imperative in the land remediation field with important implications spanning the breadth of the sector.
Dealing with an industrial legacy of over 400,000 hectares of contaminated land, net zero targets and renewed pressure for urban regeneration drive increasing demand for economically sustainable brownfield remediation, as well as continuing innovation.
This spotlight will allow environmental, remediation, planning and development professionals to learn about the latest trends and innovations in land remediation methods.
Sustainable risk management of PFAS contamination
Dr Paul Nathanail is GHD’s technical director of contamination assessment and remediation. GHD is a 10,000+ strong, global professional services company working across property, water, transport, energy, manufacturing and of course environment. Paul led the ISO working group that wrote BS ISO 187504:2017 Sustainable Remediation and will look at the management of land contamination risks from the 'forever chemicals’ more properly known as per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances through a sustainable remediation lens.
Since its inception in 1999, CL:AIRE's role and remit has expanded into many areas of sustainable land reuse. CL:AIRE will present its recent work and future plans for major initiatives and projects. The session will also showcase CL:AIRE’s plans for collaborating more with industry to strengthen its role as the leading education provider for sustainable land management.
Rob Sweeney manages production of its technical publications. He also manages the Technology and Research Group (TRG) – CL:AIRE’s technical, advisory body.
