Redstart were retained to undertake Investigation and Risk Assessment works Followed by phased remediation.
Redstart was retained to undertake a review of existing ground investigation information followed by the design and implementation of further investigation works. The investigation works were designed to assess the risks posed to human health of future land users and risks posed by potential shallow mine workings. Following investigation and risk assessments, remediation strategies were produced and accepted by the Local Authority and Coal Authority. Redstart were then retained to undertake the shallow mine workings remediation and enabling works. The works were completed under difficult prevailing weather conditions and tight site constraints with regulatory approval following works validation reporting.
