Managing soil on construction sites and throughout the development phase can be complex and challenging.  Get it right and it is cost effective, supports sustainable development, circular economy and can reduce effects of climate change. 

Get it wrong and none of these are achieved, just a serious financial drain, with some far-reaching legal ramifications.

Join YCLF at the Carriage Works in Leeds on 3rd October 2024 and make sure we are all getting it right!

Soils are a finite and valuable resource, so reviewing the options for how and if soils can be reused within a construction project is essential from initial strategic planning through to project delivery.

However, get this wrong and projects could face audits, environmental fines or tax evasion fines.

This seminar looks at what progress is being made in soil protection, best practice for developing material management plans and case studies that consider practical application of some of the options.

YCLF is delighted to announce its next virtual event held on 19th May between 10.00am and 12.30pm.
