Mott MacDonald carried out remediation work on a
disused sewage treatment facility so that it could be redeveloped
to accommodate up to 600 residential units in Peterborough, eastern
England
In many parts of the world, industrial activity has left an
unseen legacy beneath the surface. Contamination poses a serious
threat to human health and the environment, and deters investment
and development.
Mott MacDonald offers a range of risk assessment and management
tools for potentially contaminated land and groundwater, beginning
with desk studies based on archive materials, through site audits
and intrusive ground investigations, to management of risks by
remediation and/or monitoring.

groundwater quality monitoring in the fieldWe deliver our
