Permitting and regulation

Cognition has an enviable track record of successfully negotiating approval of permit and licence applications with regulators, local authorities and other regulators.  Whilst the majority of our team are contractors ‘born and bred’, a significant proportion of our senior management have specialist skills and backgrounds that lend themselves to successful regulator negotiation. Within our technical team our employees have almost 30 years experience working with and for the Environment Agency. Our Technical Director has almost 30 years’ experience working for engineering and environmental consultancies and understands their key drivers and demands. 

Through the regular work we carry out in remediation, earthworks and enabling works, Cognition is very familiar with obtaining approvals for Mobile Plant Permits, Materials Management Plans under DoWCoP, discharge consents (to ground and sewer), Deposit for Recovery Environmental Permits, Standard Rules and Bespoke Environmental Permits, etc.

Materials Management

The sustainable management of soils is a key driver for Cognition Land and Water.  Undoubtedly, the greatest impact we can make in terms of cost, programme, sustainability, waste minimisation and carbon reduction is the proactive, systematic and meticulous management of site won soils.

 Specialist processing, picking and screening; biological and chemical treatment; stabilisation and solidification; rigorous tracking and segregation of stockpiles - all of these approaches lead to very significant reduction in unnecessary disposal to landfill with resultant savings in costs, tax and the loss of valuable materials resources.  We regularly achieve reuse or recycling of over 95% of previously marginal and contaminated soils on our projects.

 This is such an important issue for us that Cognition is a lead funder and Project Steering Group member for an upcoming CIRIA guide into the Sustainable Use of Surplus Soils and Aggregates on Construction Sites.  Being at the forefront of industry best practice gives us a valuable edge over our competition and enables us to offer cutting edge approaches and methodologies to our clients.

Building Information Modelling (BIM)

BIM is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building or infrastructure. BIM is a process that involves creating and using an intelligent 3D model to inform and communicate project decisions. The model contains information about the building's geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components.
