Client: Linden Homes
Date: 2005 to present
Value: £300k 
CL Voelcker involvement on major housing site has included high levels of interaction with the client, Linden Homes, on a wide range of specialist geotechnical and environmental issues. This has resulted in a solution to a variety of planning and practical remediation problems.
The site, a former quarry, had been partly infilled. The involvement of CL Voelcker has been extensive and has included ground investigation, sampling and testing and the installation of monitoring boreholes.
Advisory work has included contaminated land risk assessments, conceptual modelling, and preparation of the Remediation Method Statement. This latter document required negotiations and the ultimate approval of the Environment Agency, the Local Authority Planning Department and the NHBC.
The site is presently undergoing restoration and ground treatment and CL Voelcker have had staff full time on site to oversee the works and carry out environmental monitoring.
Construction of houses is now underway on parts of the site which will ultimately be completed as a waterside village incorporating 500 houses, public open spaces and a wetland nature reserve.
