Awareness
Geoenvironmental aspects of sites can often outweigh the requirement to obtain the physical ground parameters and build the structure. Therefore, it is essential to determine its’ significance and choose the right investigation, sampling, testing and remediation techniques.

The seminar will increase the awareness regarding the correct approach to Geoenvironmental aspects to allow sites to be correctly classified, investigated and remediated whilst maintaining control of hazards to human health, minimising waste and optimising budgets

Applications
Legislation and guidelines have often led to confusion with respect to estimating exposure and assessing risks to human health from contamination in soil particularly using derived Health Criteria Values (HCV) and Soil Guideline Values (SGV).

This seminar will provide an insight into the where the industry is currently moving and how these are being applied.

Advances
Many advances in Geoenvironmental Geotechnics have been through analytical tools, data acquisition and processing in the laboratory but these are now moving directly to site. These advances have allowed new techniques to be developed or existing techniques to be significantly enhanced to provide rapid on site analysis to assist the construction or remediation process.
