Evidence‑based remediation design informed by DQRA, updated CSMs and regulator‑aligned options appraisal.
A Remediation Strategy is required when the Phase 2 Site Investigation and Generic Quantitative Risk Assessment (GQRA) identify significant or complex risks to human health, controlled waters, ground‑gas receptors or ecological systems. This stage forms Phase 3 of the Land Contamination Risk Management (LCRM) framework and provides the evidence‑based approach needed to select, justify and design proportionate remediation measures.
Our remediation strategies are grounded in Detailed Quantitative Risk Assessment (DQRA), updated Conceptual Site Models (CSMs) and a clear understanding of stakeholder requirements, planning conditions and regulatory expectations. We assess feasible remediation options, identify preferred approaches and prepare planning‑ready strategies that support development viability and regulatory approval.
A Phase 3 remediation strategy typically includes:
A remediation strategy is typically needed when:
Arthian’s remediation strategies are designed to be:
Once the remediation strategy is approved, we support Phase 4 verification and validation:
→ Verification & Validation
Where geotechnical interpretation is required, we integrate contaminated‑land and ground‑risk data:
Remediation strategies are commonly commissioned by developers, contractors, planning consultants, architects, commercial property owners, legal teams and regeneration organisations. These projects rely on clear, defensible remediation design to support planning approval, commercial certainty and long‑term environmental compliance.
Our remediation strategies follow the current LCRM framework, which superseded CLR11. Many planning authorities still reference CLR11 in legacy conditions, and our reporting remains fully compliant with regulator expectations where this terminology appears. DQRA is undertaken only where justified by GQRA and is used to support proportionate, defensible remediation design.
