Site investigation review
Assess whether investigation design and data actually answer the risk question, and identify the gaps that matter.
Contaminated land
Contaminated land & soil remediation consultancy
Evidence-led support across the contaminated-land lifecycle — from investigation review and soil washing to remediation technology selection, risk-based strategy, and defensible reporting.
The challenge
Every contaminated site is a decision under uncertainty.
Investigation data is rarely complete, remediation options carry different cost and risk, and the outcome has to satisfy regulators, owners, and future site users alike.
The value isn't in defaulting to dig-and-dump — it's in matching the right method to the site and proving the decision is sound.
What we do
Support across the contaminated-land lifecycle.
Remediation technology selection
Compare options — including soil washing — against contaminant, soil type, receptors, and regulatory drivers.
Risk-based decision support
Conceptual site models, exposure pathways, and lines of evidence for defensible, proportionate decisions.
Monitoring & verification
Monitoring design and verification that remediation has achieved its objectives.
Fate & transport modelling
Contaminant transport and mass-balance modelling to support remediation design and scale-up.
Regulator-facing reporting
Clear, transparent reporting that a technical team, regulator, or project board can act on.
Remediation methods we assess
Soil washing and the wider remediation toolkit.
We evaluate and combine methods rather than defaulting to any single one.
Soil washing
Ex-situ separation and concentration of contamination from excavated soil, reducing the volume needing disposal or treatment.
In-situ treatment
Treating contamination in place where excavation is impractical or disruptive.
Stabilisation & solidification
Immobilising contaminants to reduce leaching and risk.
Excavation & ex-situ treatment
Targeted removal with off-site or on-site treatment where it is the sound choice.
Monitored natural attenuation
Evidence-based reliance on natural processes with appropriate monitoring.
Pump and treat
Hydraulic containment and above-ground treatment for impacted groundwater.

PFAS-contaminated sites are a core specialism.
Many contaminated-land projects now involve PFAS. Our dedicated PFAS work integrates directly with contaminated-land strategy, investigation, and monitoring.
Who we work with
Specialist contaminated-land input, wherever the site is.
Aquentis works with international clients — site owners and developers, engineering consultancies needing specialist depth, and regulators and agencies reviewing evidence and building guidance.
