Can you reclaim waterlogged agricultural land for solar development?

Yes — waterlogged land reclamation for solar is an area of particular expertise, combining drainage engineering with earthworks to create suitable platforms for ground-mounted PV arrays.

Do you carry out contamination investigations?

We carry out Phase 1 desk study assessments and can manage Phase 2 intrusive contamination investigations through our geotechnical team.

What fill quality is required for solar farm sites?

Fill must be free of organic material, settlement-resistant and compactable to the design specification. We test fill sources prior to use and carry out layer compaction testing throughout.

Reclamation

Land reclamation and rehabilitation for infrastructure and development projects.

Degraded, waterlogged or contaminated land often represents an opportunity when properly rehabilitated. RS delivers land reclamation and rehabilitation projects that convert challenging sites into productive assets for energy, agriculture or development.

Key Benefits

Converts unproductive land into viable project sites

Engineered drainage prevents future waterlogging

Contamination assessment and remediation protects liabilities

Compacted fill creates stable platform for future construction

Environmental permits obtained as part of scope

Maximises land value for client assets

Our Process

Site Assessment

Topographic survey, drainage assessment, contamination screening and geotechnical investigation.

Reclamation Design

Fill design, drainage layout, compaction specification and environmental management plan.

Fill Sourcing

Identification and testing of suitable fill materials from approved sources.

Earthworks & Filling

Controlled placement and compaction of fill in engineered layers.

Drainage Installation

Surface and sub-surface drainage network installation.

Final Survey & Certification

Post-completion topographic survey, compaction certification and handover documentation.

Features Included

Waterlogged and low-lying land reclamation

Contaminated land screening and remediation

Controlled fill placement and compaction

Drainage network design and installation

Shoreline and riverbank stabilisation
