Short profile:
During the last two decades, it has become recognisably evident that the extent of historical metalliferous mining activity is far more widespread and intensive than hitherto believed, and that potential mining risks may be present in areas affected by metalliferous mineralisation. In Devon and Cornwall, large areas are potentially affected by the legacy of metalliferous mining, both in terms of ground stability and as regards aspects relating to contaminated land.
The resulting consequence of historical metalliferous mining in Devon and Cornwall is now accepted as being a very real problem by the Local, County and Government Authorities, by Industry and by the public sector. The legacy for historical mining activity can affect both planned and existing development, civil construction projects, highways, as well as those aspects relating to the countryside and general public safety.
Detailed description:
Cornwall Mining Services Limited was founded in 1978 as an independent consultancy with site investigation capabilities, dealing with problems related to the legacy of historical mining activity in the region of South West England. Our staff have a close and practical knowledge of mining techniques and history, of ground stability and the geology of the region.
Cornwall Mining Services Limited hold an extensive and unique archive of mining information compiled since 1978 and are widely recognised as being a leading authority in the correct interpretation of the re-correlation and compositing of historical mining information. Combined with expertise in ground investigation, realistic conclusions and recommendations in order to deal with and mitigate mining risk can be made.
Cornwall Mining Services Limited also offer expertise relating to contaminated land, from desk studies, risk assessment, investigation and remediation proposals.
Our clients range from individuals to legal and professional bodies, to international corporations.
