Ground Gas Assessments

Ground gases can present a significant risk to both proposed and existing developments, particularly on sites with or near to Made Ground, landfills, former industrial activities or certain geological conditions. Omnia’s Ground Gas Assessments help identify and evaluate these risks, providing the information needed to support planning applications and the safe development of land.

Using monitoring data obtained from ground investigations, together with an assessment of the site’s history, geology and surrounding land uses, our Geo-Environmental Specialists evaluate the potential risks associated with ground gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and hazardous vapours. Our reports can provide gas risk classifications, characterisation of gas regimes, and recommendations for appropriate gas protection measures where required. By delivering clear, practical advice, we help clients satisfy regulatory requirements which in turn protects future site users and allows the development to progress with confidence.
