About this event

A developer’s guide to identifying, mitigating and removing contaminated land.

Contaminated land can present significant risk to a development project—impacting feasibility, approvals, programme, cost and ultimately site value.

This practical webinar will provide developers with an essential guide to identifying, assessing and managing contamination throughout the development lifecycle.

From early-stage due diligence and environmental investigations through to remediation strategies, regulatory requirements, cost management and site validation, the session will unpack what developers need to know before acquiring or developing a potentially contaminated site.

The webinar will be led by Jared Ewers, Managing Director at Ewers Environmental Consulting (EEC), a passionate civil and environmental engineer who has worked with private and listed developers, civil contractors and specialist consultants to provide practical solutions to complex environmental challenges.

Drawing on real-world examples, Site Remediation 101 will help developers and property professionals better understand contamination risk, avoid costly surprises and navigate the pathway from investigation through to a development-ready site.
