You’ve found a promising parcel of land—affordable and well-located. But when your solicitor checks the title, a note flags possible subsidence risks due to historical coal mining. This is where a Coal Mining Risk Assessment becomes critical.
In coalfield areas, past underground activity can lead to sinkholes, surface collapses, or rising ground gas. Before you commit funds, conduct a CMRA with EnviroSolution. Our team uses licensed data from the Coal Authority to assess the exact risks to your site.
Our reports highlight:
- Known or suspected mine shafts
- Recorded shallow workings
- Gas risks (e.g. methane or carbon dioxide)
- Proximity to past collapse events
We recently worked with a developer purchasing land for a logistics hub in the North East. Our CMRA uncovered two undocumented mine entries within the site boundary. With this knowledge, they adjusted the layout, avoided the hazard zones, and saved thousands on potential remedial works.
Never assume that ground beneath your site is stable—especially in former mining regions. An EnviroSolution CMRA helps you build smarter and safer.
