The client or his contractor employed to work within the site will also be instructed to cease work and contact NPL if any suspicious ground or material is encountered. If any suspicious material is found it will be isolated and investigated using analysis for relevant contaminants of concern. Remediation of garden areas. Following the renovation of the buildings all garden areas will be stripped of any Made Ground to reveal the clean subsoil before being dressed with a minimum of 300mm of certified Topsoil. The Topsoil will be sourced from the certified stockpile present on the site. Inspection and validation confirming that the correct thicknesses constructed will be required. This information will be collected and collated throughout the construction process and submitted in a final validation report. Remediation of driveways and hard-standings. Following the renovation of the buildings all driveways, parking areas and courtyard areas will again be excavated to a depth ensuring all the Made Ground has been removed before being reconstructed with a minim of 300mm of construction material. The material discussed in Section 5.3 can be re used in these areas of the site. Inspection and validation confirming that the requirements have been carried out will be required.
