Contaminated Land
We manage land contamination issues on an inherited portfolio of historically contaminated land dating back over 100 years. These include former manufactured gas plants, industrial landfills, former/current gas holder sites and older substations on our transmission and distribution networks. Sites can sometimes have a complex mix of contamination.
Our performance measure in this area is the number of sites on which we have completed remediation activities.
