Sweco’s wide-ranging and integrated geo-environmental consultancy and engineering expertise is a result of over 30 years of investigating, assessing and remediating many thousands of sites, from individual housing plots to new towns.
Our commercial and pragmatic approach to site development, combined with our ability to successfully address issues using in-house resources, has resulted in a broad range of satisfied public and private sector clients.
Our experienced geotechnical engineers work closely with civil and structural engineering disciplines and our contaminated land specialists to regularly eliminate hazards and manage residual risks by identifying ground-related issues at the earliest stages of a project, allowing us to present balanced and robust engineering solutions.
Ground improvement
Building geotechnics
Infrastructure geotechnics
Mining stability assessments and remediation design
Foundations, platforms, earthworks and substructure engineering
Ground engineering and identification of development constraints
Organisations with contaminated sites face significant regulatory, financial and reputational risks. Successfully managing this liability and developing a regulatory position for these sites so that they can be put to more productive use (or divested) is a core area of our expertise.
Due diligence
Feasibility studies
Planning support
Regulatory approvals
Accelerated turnaround desk-based site assessments
Efficient site investigations and risk management options
Accredited chemical testing and ground investigation contractors
Effective engagement with environmental regulators to ensure compliance
Our multi-award winning engineers and consultants design and implement a range of geo-environmental improvement and regeneration schemes, using a robust understanding of site constraints and development objectives to allow the management of geoenvironmental liabilities.
Remediation design and implementation, from assessment to validation
Options appraisal, cost benefit analysis and value engineering
Materials management, sustainability appraisal and waste minimisation
Site clearance, demolition, utility and infrastructure enabling works
Contract tendering, administration and cost consultancy
Obtaining an early understanding of principal risk factors and business drivers is key to the quick and efficient delivery of value from transactions. Poor environmental practice or social governance can impact land value generation and may be commercially critical.
Environmental review and regulatory compliance audits
Our in-depth understanding of local authority planning requirements and how to best achieve them is based on a strong track record of obtaining regulatory approvals for our clients, from housing developers to international energy companies
Review and interpretation of planning conditions
Liaison with regulators to streamline the approval process
Ability to address wider planning issues, e.g. noise, air quality, transport planning
Together with our clients and the collective knowledge of our 22,000 engineers, consultants and other specialists, we co-create solutions to address urbanisation, capture the power of digitalisation, and make our societies more sustainable. With international multi-disciplinary teams, we can call on the right insight and technical capability at the right time from across Buildings, Infrastructure, Advisory & Planning and Compliance.
