Ground gas risk assessment

Both naturally occurring and man-made ground gases and soil vapours can pose a range of environmental risks, including explosion, asphyxiation and toxic affects. Understanding these risks can be crucial to achieving planning permission, securing an environmental permit, satisfying due diligence needs, or addressing statutory liabilities.
