For over 15 years PAGeotechnical has sat at the forefront of geosynthetics solutions in the contaminated land sector. Far more than a materials provider, PAG is primarily a specialist consultancy, working with and through mainstream engineering consultants. We provide specialist technical advice on cost effective risk management where ground gases are identified in construction sites. As “brownfield” development is not only the most sustainable means of solving our construction deficit, but such sites are also often in the most desirable locations, as historical industrial landscapes are redeveloped into prime residential and employment areas. The firm works at all levels of the construction process: as members of a large number of trade and scientific organisations, advising Government and construction committees; as well as mainstream development clients, their design and construction teams and the myriad of specialist construction companies who actually undertake the build. PAG believe it is critical to interface throughout the whole process. Many areas of construction supply are charged with over specification which creates additional costs, PAG have always been vocal on the importance of correct risk analysis to determine proportionate solutions, design and installation. The UK leads the world in this area, primarily as we were the first industrialised country to start re-developing old Victorian infrastructure developed during the industrial revolution. The skills, materials, designs and standards we have developed are being adopted in other markets where the circumstances are starting to mirror those in this country 20-30 years ago. PAG are involved in supporting overseas markets and through associations with British, European and International standards organisations are also investing heavily in research and experience sharing. The key to a strong export market is “smart regulation” in home markets as this drives innovation. The UK has a long history of supporting innovation in the environmental and sustainable building sector and hence has one of the most developed and efficient specialities sectors. Given the multifarious constraints on Government time and energy; we must all work together to ensure that this position is maintained, both for safe and future proofed development at home and strong export potential. PAG remains firmly committed to being part of this process. Best Contaminated Land Management Firm 2016 – UK & BUILD Innovation in Ground Gas Protection Systems PAGeotechnical Ltd (PAG), provides solutions to the problems associated with constructing on gas contaminated land.
