Knowledge Exchange Fellowship (Open Call): Increasing the impact of geoscience in land redevelopment projects
Lead Research Organisation:
British Geological Survey
Department Name: Environmental Modelling
Abstract
This Knowledge Exchange (KE) Fellowship will increase the impact of NERC geoscience in the land redevelopment sector by working directly with individual land owners, developers and geoenvironmental consultancy companies. The geoscience covered by this proposal includes geological and geochemical resources which comprise data, derived data-products, spatial decision-support tools and applied science and technology. The Fellowship will help make land owners, developers and geoenvironmental consultancy companies more competitive and reduce barriers to redevelopment of brownfield sites by minimising uncertainties related to the sub-surface.
This Fellowship is needed to support the implementation of UK Government policies on housing and development designed to assist with the recovery of the UK economy. UK Government recognises this link in its Planning and Housing Bill and its reform of England's National Planning Policy Framework, with targets for granting planning permission set at 90% of all suitable brownfield sites by 2020. The Fellowship will help businesses make better use of state-of-the-art NERC geoscience which will help improve their competitiveness at home and enhance the potential to export their expertise.
The Fellowship will improve KE between NERC and land owners, developers and geoenvironmental consultancy companies using one-to-many and one-to-one approaches to engage and work with these businesses. Facilitated workshops will equip participants with knowledge of NERC geoscience as well as evaluate the barriers that exist within British Geological Survey (BGS) for its exploitation by the land redevelopment sector. These barriers include price, awareness, licensing, end-user needs, ease of access, electronic format of scientific outputs, software interface and content of 3D/2D sub-surface models. During the one-to-one support the Fellow will shadow a development project manager and identify where in the project life cycle NERC geoscience will impact the most. The Fellow will work intensively with approximately 10 businesses on an individual basis to embed NERC geoscience in the decision making process e.g. use of sub-surface contour maps to cost and design underground car parking at a former chemical plant. The impact to all stakeholders to be quantified and results used to help guide future NERC geoscience.
Working with individual businesses will improve the Fellow's understanding of how and at what stage decisions are made in the redevelopment project life cycle. This knowledge will be used to utilise NERC geoscience within approximately 15 live redevelopment projects (e.g. the brownfield sites identified by Positive Homes in their Letter of Support). The fellow will integrate NERC geoscience into projects and quantify the impact. The results will demonstrate good practice for two-way KE and help shape future collaborative funding bids to NERC.
The results of the workshops and one-to-one project work will be published as technical case studies on the impact of NERC geoscience to the land redevelopment sector. A design guide will also be produced to help both scientists and business development staff working for NERC utilise exploit the results of the Fellowship, especially in terms of the understanding end-user need. The relationships developed during the Fellowship will present new opportunities for future collaborative projects that will be sustained after the project
The Fellow will work laterally across NERC and the land redevelopment sector and link with existing Fellows (Steph Bricker and Helen Bonsor), initiatives such as Innovate UK Catapults, NERC funded projects, trade bodies (e.g. Contaminated Land: Application in Real Environments) and regulators (e.g. Plymouth City Council, London Borough of Hackney). This will increase awareness and the impact of the Fellowship by generating new opportunities for collaborations and facilitate new links between businesses and NERC staff where appropriate.

| PI Contribution | We generated a new set of outputs for the Brownfield Ground Risk Calculator for Arcadis and Bolton Council to assist with their project to undertake a planning viability assessment of brownfield sites in the Bolton area of Manchester. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Arcadis are developing a commercial web tool to assess the viability of housing development sites across the UK. Arcadis approach me and asked for our advice and input to enhance the tool such that it is now able to provide an estimate of ground risk and risk mitigation cost estimates for brownfield land in Bolton. Bolton are working with Arcadis to validate the usefulness of their tool for the purpose described above. |
| Impact | The Arcadis tool is now able to show how brownfield remediation costs and risk affects the planning viability position of sites within the Bolton area of Manchester. This provides a new function that Arcadis are expected to capitalise on in the future. |

| Title | Greater Manchester Brownfield Ground Risk Calculator |
| Description | GIS based spatial decision support tool for evaluating ground risks and remediation costs for soil and groundwater contamination and land instability constraints for >4700 brownfield sites in Greater Manchester. Uses mulitple input datasets from NERC (BGS), Ordnance Survey, Environment Agency and The Coal Authority to derive proprietory ground risk scores and risk mitigation cost estimates. Presented in different GIS software environments (ESRI, MapInfo and QGIS) for planning and environmental regulatory officers in public authorities. |

| Title | Groundhog geological software |
| Description | BGS Groundhog ™ Desktop is game changing geological software for construction and development projects. Groundhog ™ allows the user to import ground investigation data to produce accurate scaled borehole logs geological cross-sections. These outputs link to either a digital terrain model or more rudimentary borehole levels for your development site. With map view functionality the user can import a site boundary with ground investigation data, visualising these in in the context of a topographical OS basemap of the site, BGS geological maps and other environment data. Boreholes logs and cross-sections can be exported directly into technical reports or into 3D geological modelling software, BIM or CAD environments. Additional modular functions in Groundhog ™ Professional include the ability to draw, annotate and link industrial pollutant sources, exposure pathways and receptors relating to potential land contamination. These functions complement the requirements for producing conceptual site models for risk-based land management in the UK and abroad. Collectively Groundhog ™ tools allow ground conditions at a site to be reproducibly visualised and interpreted, leading to reliable robust decision-making for ground and contamination risks in construction and redevelopment projects. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2019 |
| Impact | New software and collaboration with SME. Free and commercial versions available. Aspects of software co-designed with local SME. Business model for professional version of tool based on collaboration agreement with SME (Land Quality Management) whereby LQM sell training and software licenses to the economic benefit of LQM and British Geological Survey. Software provides new ways of producing conceptual site models for risk based management of brownfield land. |
