Archaeological monitoring (watching brief)
Archaeological monitoring of groundworks during a project’s construction stage is often required as a condition of planning permission
ADAS’ experienced archaeologists conduct wide-ranging monitor work, including intrusive groundworks, site stripping or demolition work. We work alongside construction contractors and the local authority archaeologist to minimise delays. Clear communication is important, and our advice is unbiased, straightforward and practical. If we identify an issue, we liaise quickly with the client and coordinate a solution.
Our monitoring reports are clear and thorough, tailored to the development to best ensure the client fulfils a planning condition.
Standards and guidance
As with all our archaeology services, we work to the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists Standards and Guidance Chartered Institute for Archaeologists Standards and Guidance standards. We also adhere to project method statements and follow strict on-site health and safety protocols. We are Constructionline Gold members and have achieved SMAS Worksafe accreditation.
