Archaeological services for construction and heritage
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology regularly works in all sectors from renewable energy through to mining and can bring its expertise in all these fields to bear when archaeology is a constraint to development or extraction.
Extensive knowledge of working within each sector results in cost effective and time saving options for clients approaching archaeology either at the pre-application stage, or later when a planning condition needs to be discharged.
Renewable energy »
Considerable experience of working on wind farm and solar farm projects in the UK - providing specialist assessments and services to help developers deal with the potential constraints arising from archaeological remains both above and below ground.
Aggregates and mineral extraction »
Working on quarry and mining sites of all kinds has resulted in a particular specialisation in the archaeology of underground spaces. Understanding that the exploitation of extraction and mining sites can involve extensive archaeological investigation prior to, or as a condition of planning consent, a number of tailor made packages can be offered - resulting in considerable cost and time savings.
Utilities »
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology has worked on a large number of utility schemes and provides a whole suite of archaeological services to a number of utility companies. Extensive experience of working on such schemes - particularly where long cable and pipeline routes are involved - has resulted in the capability to offer all aspects of archaeological works. These can involve, for example, liaising with landowners and tenants through to providing advice on route options.
Housing and commercial development »
From small-scale housing projects through to large mixed use developments comprising many hectares of development, Wardell Armstrong Archaeology understands the commercial driving forces behind such schemes. Whilst undertaking archaeological work to a high professional standard, a pragmatic and measured approach to dealing with archaeological remains within development sites. The result is the minimising and managing of risk for customers, with a commercial focus being to the fore at all times.
Transport »
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology has worked on a large number of transport and infrastructure schemes and through expert assessment of archaeological constraints within transport corridors, has provided clients with the opportunity to design out potentially expensive and time consuming archaeological sites. A package of services cater for the particular needs of transport schemes, focusing on the need to minimise potential costs to clients.
Education and outreach »
Although an essentially commercial archaeological unit, Wardell Armstrong Archaeology has a strong belief that archaeology and heritage should be accessible to all. Working on a number of community based projects have provided local people, whether history groups or schoolchildren, with the chance to be involved in archaeological excavation.
