A keen interest in human health and soil unfolded and has since been involved with workshop groups such as LQM/CIEH for GAC and more recently S4UL, CIRIA “A guide to small brownfield sites and land contamination (C773)”. Topsoil, macadam, PAH double ratio plots, waste materials assessment and testing are all interest areas.
Topsoil…. Asset or Liability
The talk will focus on Topsoil use on construction sites. It will briefly overview what a Topsoil is, the provenance of different topsoil types and how investigation and analysis of topsoil can aid decision making and money saving while delivering a good product for customers. Whether re-using or importing topsoils to the site the talk aims to provide a good broad overview of an often-overlooked subject.
