Welcome to Portway Remediation
Soil contamination is the presence of man-made chemicals or other alteration in the natural soil environment. This type of contamination typically arises from the rupture of underground storage tanks, application of pesticides, percolation of contaminated surface water to subsurface strata, oil and fuel dumping, leaching of wastes from landfills or direct discharge of industrial wastes to the soil. The most common chemicals involved are petroleum hydrocarbons, solvents, pesticides, lead and other heavy metals. This occurrence of this phenomenon is correlated with the degree of industrialization and intensity of chemical usage.

If you require interpretation of a ground report and possible remediation schemes, the first 2 hours consultation are free. If further information or documentation is required we will agree rates with you before undertaking any consultation works.
In certain cases brownfield sites do not always require full remediation schemes, only addressing localised hotspots.
