Contaminated Land Remediation

Scott Wilson is a global integrated design and engineering

consultancy for the built and natural environments. We
bring together in a single team the technical, design and
management skills to achieve innovative, cost effective
solutions.

As growing constraints are placed on the development of

Greenfield sites our clients are increasingly benefiting from
our considerable and varied multi-disciplinary experience
in the redevelopment of sites with a legacy of past
industrial use.

At Scott Wilson, we recognise that understanding the

complex nature of contaminated land is central to
delivering a robust strategy for redevelopment. Our
bespoke Advanced Site Characterisation Services deliver
innovative solutions to unique problems.
Advanced Site Characterisation Services

Scott Wilson is focussed on delivering bespoke solutions

for a complex world. Our Advanced Site Characterisation
Services help developers and land owners release the
potential of their Brownfield sites from pre-acquisition
through to remediation.

regulatory requirements.
TIES - Heuristic Remediation Control

Scott Wilson’s Total Integrated Earthworks Solution (TIES)

is a revolutionary approach to delivering real-time decision
making on site.

TIES facilitates an accelerated programme of works by

combining, an MCERTS compliant onsite lab, robust field
analytics and a bespoke web-enabled data management
system. By continually updating project data, TIES
delivers heuristic remediation control and ensures all key
stakeholders stay informed all of the time.

Providing the UK’s only fully integrated remediation control

and optimisation system, TIES allows remedial works
to progress efficiently with improved confidence and
minimised programme delays.
TIES - Delivering Benefits

With proven cost savings in excess of 10% and

programme compression in excess of 15%, TIES
demonstrates real technical and commercial advantages
over conventional remedial operations. Optimised
earthworks, maximised materials retention and flexible
treatment strategies are just some of the benefits

TIES delivers the sustainable redevelopment of

contaminated land through:

• Substantially reduced outturn costs

• Accelerated earthworks programme
• Optimised earthworks efficiency
• Maximised materials re-use
• Minimised waste and treatment volumes
• Increased regulator confidence
• Reduced risk profiles
• Reduced embedded carbon
Laboratory Services

Scott Wilson understand the need for high quality data

when assessing the risks posed by contaminated land
and groundwater and also as part of the remediation
optioneering / optimisation process. With our in-house
geochemical expertise, we are able to offer bespoke
laboratory testing and data interpretation for

HYDROGEOCHEMICAL MODEL PARAMETERISATION

Kd’s, isotherms, biodegradation kinetics, column studies,
pyrite oxidation studies & geochemical speciation
modelling

MINERALOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS
Phase identification and quantification

REMEDIATION FEASIBILITY & OPTIMISATION

Chemox, PRB design & S/S Trials
Contaminant Depth Profiling

By delivering high resolution Concentration (mg/kg)

geochemical datasets to map

subsurface contamination, our
depth profiling capabilities can
transform the understanding
of site contamination issues.

This innovative approach

refines the vertical extent
of contamination, allowing
accurate and efficient
Depth Below Ground Level (m)

remediation strategies to be
developed with lower risk
profiles for land owners,
developers and contractors.

Contaminant depth profiling

is available for the majority of
typical contaminants including
(but not limited to) trace and
major metals and metalloids,
speciated Polycyclic Aromatic
Hydrocarbons (PAHs),
phenols, Diesel Range
Organics (DRO) and Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOCs).
Our Advanced Site Characterisation team are committed
to the continued development of innovative earthworks
solutions to provide our clients with the best in terms of
quality and value. We are able to provide a full multi-
disciplinary service or alternatively our clients can select
just one of our disciplines to work as part of their design
team.
