Our Team

The senior members of our team have specialised in the field of remediation and have extensive knowledge and hands-on experience of delivering complex projects on-time and within budget.

In addition to their contracting expertise, the key members of the DB Remediation team have, during their careers, gained many years’ experience of undertaking remedial designs in large multi-discipline consultancies, and as such hold the appropriate professional qualifications. This in-house knowledge enables us to technically review all site data for preparation of risk-based remedial strategies and robust, deliverable site enabling solutions.

We worked successfully with DB Remediation on the remediation and grubbing up of the former Bus Depot in Bracknell, Buckinghamshire. The project was particularly complex due to the site location and key project stakeholders, such as Network Rail and the Local Planning Authority. However, as a key member of the project team, Dafydd engaged with the team and provided the necessary professional support to ensure the enabling works package was a success. The proactive, collaborative and flexible approach that the team at DB Remediation employ is unique and has brought a refreshing outlook to the challenging environment of brownfield remediation.
