Safely removing radioactive particles from contaminated sites for over thirty years
Land Remediation Services
We restore the safety and value of your site, whether you need contaminated land remediation during demolition or are preparing a brownfield site for redevelopment. Our expert contractors will ensure efficient removal of hazardous substances from the soil and groundwater.
Our approach to Land Remediation
Every land remediation project starts with a detailed site investigation, feasibility studies and risk assessments. With so many remediation techniques available today, choosing the most sustainable and economical treatment method can be difficult. Several factors contribute to the choice of the right remediation technique. KDC draws on its extensive experience of the industry to complete detailed land remediation service appraisals and make sure the correct technique is selected.
1 Review
Reviewing the conceptual site model to identify the complete pollutant linkages.
2 Assess
Assess which remediation techniques will achieve the target levels for the site
3 Costing
Completing a cost and sustainability analysis for each technique
4 Impact
Assessing the environmental impact of the potential techniques.
Our Remediation Services
We offer a full waste classification service including:
- Delineating and managing waste stockpiles
- Provide an efficient and low cost waste management strategy
- Excavate and classify contaminated soils in the field
- Provide a quick and safe turnaround
We treat soil contaminated with various industrial chemicals, such as hydrocarbons and heavy metals. By removing contaminants, soils classified as hazardous waste can be treated for reuse within planned developments.
Contaminated groundwater can pose a significant threat to public health and the environment.
This usually occurs due to a former industrial process, such as:
- Oil or gas works
- Manufacturing
- Rail depots
- Accidental spillages.
We identify harmful pollution levels and treat them accordingly, as these can pose problems for the resale or re-use of former sites. At KDC Veolia, we have expert teams that offer practical, cost-effective solutions, design barriers and treatments to keep the contamination below acceptable levels.
We offer cost-effective solutions for the remediation of contaminated land.

Client Testimonials
How do you assess and characterise site contamination before selecting a remediation strategy?
Our assessment process begins with desktop studies and site history review, followed by soil and groundwater sampling programmes. We conduct detailed laboratory analysis of contaminants, perform risk assessment studies, and develop conceptual site models, supplemented by geophysical surveys where necessary.
How do you manage and treat groundwater contamination during land remediation projects?
We implement a groundwater management approach that includes installing monitoring wells and appropriate pump and treat systems. Our strategy combines in-situ treatment technologies with robust containment measures, supported by regular monitoring and sampling and hydraulic control measures where needed.
What is your approach to regulatory compliance and stakeholder engagement on remediation sites?
We maintain open communication channels with regulatory bodies and ensure strict compliance with environmental permits. Our stakeholder engagement includes community consultation programmes, regular progress reporting, and public information sessions, all supported by documentation maintenance.
How do you monitor and verify the effectiveness of remediation activities?
We establish clear cleanup targets and conduct regular sampling and testing throughout the remediation process. Our verification system includes detailed data analysis and trending independent verification testing, and long-term monitoring programmes, culminating in thorough validation reporting.
What health and safety protocols do you implement for handling hazardous materials?
Our safety protocols encompass site-specific safety plans and strict PPE requirements, alongside decontamination procedures and air monitoring programmes. We maintain robust emergency response plans, conduct regular safety training, and implement medical surveillance and exposure monitoring programmes.
