- Review of publicly available and regulatory information including site setting, geological and hydrogeological mapping, site history, planning history and industrial land uses.
- Review of historical contaminated land investigations and remediation measures implemented prior to the development of the assets.
- Assessment of flood risk from all sources (tidal, fluvial, surface water, groundwater, and artificial sources) using publicly available information, including a review of ‘in-country’ flood data and mapping, topography, historical records and relevant third-party sources.
Outcomes / Client Benefit
The Client successfully acquired the portfolio with full knowledge of the potential risks from contaminated land and flood risk.
Delta-Simons were able to provide expert ‘in-country’ environmental advice regarding the 38 assets through our Inogen Alliance Partner, DGE.
