River protection works adjacent to a tar disposal
site undergoing remediation
The engineering industry recognises that without the
appropriate handling, ground is a hazard. Whether it’s through
settlement due to inadequate foundations, threats from mine gases,
historic contamination from former industry or simply natural
geo-hazards such as landslips or swallow holes, the ground presents
a number of potential risks to the unwary.
In this world of corporate and personal responsibility, it pays to
engage the appropriate expertise to give sound and experienced
advice; more and more clients are turning to Mott MacDonald for
this. Our staff work at all levels, helping individual landowners
