Archaeology in harmony with ongoing construction work
Prior to development commencing it is possible that archaeological excavation will be required by the local planning authority to discharge a planning condition.
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology regularly undertakes excavations in both rural and urban settings, often over large surface areas and to considerable depths.
Considerable experience of difficult and complex excavation projects enables archaeological excavation to be undertaken in a wide variety of locations and situations such as:-
- Excavation within buildings or adjacent to live services
- Archaeological excavation on linear developments such as pipeline corridors
- Road schemes which have their own particular access and operational requirements.
Members of the team are trained to work in confined spaces, as well as in health and safety policy, and this enables excavations to be carried out in very challenging circumstances.
Avoiding construction delay and subsequent costs
The extensive experience of day to day running of archaeological excavations means that clients can be provided with sound advice on how to dovetail archaeological investigation with ongoing construction and demolition works.
This means that they are able to avoid costly delays in their development programmes and can meet crucial deadlines whilst at the same time discharging their planning condition.
