	Brownfield Sites - Integrated Ground Engineering Strategy
	Order Code: BR072EP ISBN Number: 1860818919 Publisher: BRE Press No. of Pages: 78 Date of Publication: 2005 Price: £60.00
This report provides authoritative guidance on the investigation, treatment and foundation design for building development on brownfield and landfill sites. This integrated ground engineering strategy takes a risk based approach. Key aspects of the strategy - hazard assessment and risk mitigation - are discussed in detail. The nature of brownfield hazards is explained, and critical outlines of the numerous ground treatment and remediation techniques are given, together with information on which decisions about treatment and remediation can be based. The report is in five parts: An outline of a ground engineering strategy which includes risk management and the process by which the strategy is implemented. The 'receptors' (human beings, the natural and built environments) affected by hazards in the ground, and the nature of the hazards themselves. Investigation and evaluation of hazards in the ground, and handling of risks. Risk mitigation measures. Ground treatment techniques. The report concludes with case histories, summaries of relevant Acts and Regulations and official guidance, and a list of references (5 pages). It will be especially valuable for developers, designers, contractors, site investigation specialists and regulators.
