Why You Need a Coal Mining Risk Report
Properties and land in former coal mining areas may be affected by subsidence, mine shafts, historic coal workings, coal seam outcrops, and environmental contamination. Without a professional coal mining search, you could be at risk of structural damage, planning constraints, or costly remedial work. Whether you are purchasing a home, planning a development, or undertaking a construction project, understanding ground stability risks is vital.
Environmental and Mining Waste Concerns
Our reports also address environmental risks associated with historic coal mining, such as:
Inventory of Closed Mining Waste Facilities: Highlights sites of former mining waste deposits that may still affect land stability or environment.
Metal Mine Discharge: Assesses pollution risks from abandoned metal mines impacting land and water quality.
Metal Mine Impacted Rivers: Identifies rivers affected by mining activities, which may influence ecological health and water usability.
What Our Coal Mining Search Reveals:
✔ Past and present coal mining activity – Identifying historical and ongoing mining operations that could impact property stability.
✔ Subsidence and ground movement risks – Evaluating whether past coal extraction has weakened the land, leading to potential structural damage.
✔ Mine shafts and historic workings – Locating abandoned mine shafts and underground voids that pose a collapse risk.
✔ Coal seam outcrops and geological hazards – Highlighting surface and sub-surface features that could affect land use and development.
✔ Environmental risks and remediation issues – Identifying pollution concerns, gas emissions, and any remedial measures required.
✔ Development high-risk areas – Mapping regions with heightened mining-related risks, ensuring compliance with planning regulations.
