Piling and Penetrative Ground Improvement Methods on Land Affected by Contamination: Guidance on Pollution Prevention

ABSTRACT

This report presents guidance on assessing risks associated with, and preventing pollution from piling and penetrative ground improvement methods, with a specific focus on their use on land affected by contamination. It also covers some specific aspects that are not solely related to contaminated sites, including the issues of turbidity from piling and the risk of it affecting water quality at abstraction wells, as well as the use of support fluids.
