Groundworks and Remediation
Groundworks
Our experience shows that groundworkers often face conflicting pressures: the need to maintain momentum on tight programmes while ensuring full regulatory compliance and no pollution.
Balancing these demands is no easy task, especially when information from clients and consultants about environmental risk and mitigation strategies may sometimes be unclear. In such cases, groundworkers can find themselves carrying an undue share of the risk.
At Frog Environmental, we have a strong track record of supporting groundworkers through these challenges. We understand the complex dynamics at play, where multiple stakeholder interests must be balanced against real-world constraints of time and budget.
In an industry where time is money, we work with groundworkers to help them deliver their works efficiently and safely, while reducing the risk of costly fines and reputational damage for themselves and their clients.

Solutions to groundworks site challenges
Working with
Risks during cut and fill operations
Earthworks can release high volumes of fine sediment into surface water if not carefully managed. Our targeted treatment strategies help reduce pollution risk during these operations, maintaining regulatory compliance and environmental protection without slowing down progress.
Dynamic water management to avoid pollution
Water levels and flow paths change rapidly during groundworks. We provide dynamic water management strategies that adapt to evolving site conditions, preventing pollution events before they occur.
Scalable Rain Ready® mobile water treatment
Our modular mobile treatment systems scale to your programme and footprint. Whether you’re handling a single trench or a large phased excavation, we can deploy systems that manage water safely and efficiently on site.
Dewatering during excavation work
Discharging silty water from dewatering activities without treatment can lead to significant regulatory breaches. Our solutions that balance performance, simplicity and sustainability ensure that water is treated before discharge – meeting environmental standards without delay.
Training specific to groundworker duties
We offer tailored formal and informal training to upskill teams and build environmental awareness sessions focused on the practical water management tasks groundworkers face daily. These sessions build confidence and ensure that environmental responsibilities are clearly understood and managed.
On-demand support and resources
Our team is ready to provide advice, installation guides, and product selection tailored to your works. We also offer 30-minute consultation calls to help troubleshoot challenges in real time.
We’re here to support groundworkers in delivering effective surface water management – on time, on budget, and with full regulatory compliance.
