Guiding Projects Through Compliance & Remediation

From Desktop Studies to Verification Reports, our consultancy services help you meet environmental regulations, reduce risk, and streamline project outcomes.

Consultancy Services

GreenShepherd offers a full suite of consultancy services designed to support developers, contractors, and consultants in meeting regulatory obligations under environmental legislation. Our consultancy focuses on reducing risk, achieving compliance, and ensuring efficient material and waste management on every project.

Material Management Plan (MMP)

An MMP is a critical requirement under the CL:AIRE Definition of Waste: Code of Practice (DoWCoP). We prepare robust Material Management Plans that outline the sourcing, treatment, reuse, and disposal of excavated materials, ensuring compliance with DoWCoP and reducing reliance on landfill.

Phase 2 Site Investigation

Our intrusive investigations include borehole drilling, trial pits, soil and groundwater sampling, and in-situ testing. Phase 2 investigations provide the data necessary for risk assessment, remediation design, and compliance with planning or permitting requirements.

Remediation Strategy

We design tailored remediation strategies to address site-specific contamination risks. Approaches may include soil treatment, excavation and disposal, capping layers, or groundwater remediation, all aligned with EA/SEPA/NRW regulatory frameworks.

Hotspot Delineation

Identifying and quantifying contamination hotspots is critical to risk management. Using a combination of laboratory analysis, in-situ screening, and GIS mapping, we delineate areas of elevated contamination to target remedial works with precision, reducing costs and unnecessary soil disposal.

Verification Report

Following site works or remediation, a verification report provides documented evidence that the project has achieved its environmental objectives. Reports include laboratory test data, site records, and photographic evidence to demonstrate compliance with regulators and stakeholders.

Desktop Study

A Phase 1 Desk Study is the foundation of environmental due diligence. We review historical land use, geology, hydrology, and environmental records to identify potential contamination risks. This step is often essential for planning applications, liability assessments, and to determine the need for intrusive site investigations.
