After the investigation is before the remediation
In many existing and demolished buildings, building materials containing pollutants are found during investigations of the building fabric. These are identified during investigations and documented in pollutant registers. The presence of building pollutants poses various questions for the owner or builder with regard to user protection, upcoming renovation or conversion work, or the disposal of contaminated building materials in the event of demolition.
According to the applicable legal regulations, the owner or builder must ensure that his property does not pose a risk to third parties. In addition, various occupational health and safety, and waste management aspects must be taken into account in upcoming construction measures. Depending on the motivation, we create detailed pollutant inventories for your building and support you in determining whether the pollutant findings pose a risk to ongoing operations and building users.
If the assessment of user exposure indicates the need for remediation, the determination of the remediation techniques to be applied as well as the protection of occupational health and safety when handling hazardous substances by establishing appropriate protective measures are essential for successful implementation. We are happy to advise our clients on these issues, develop and recommend the appropriate procedures for building renovation and act as an interface with other specialist planners and construction trades.
