Coal Mining Risk Assessment: Keep Planning on Track in Coalfield Areas

In coalfield areas, a Coal Mining Risk Assessment (CMRA) can make or break your planning timeline. Old workings, shallow mine entries and ground gas are not just heritage footnotes — they’re real engineering and safety issues with direct cost implications if discovered late.

Our CMRA process is designed for speed and clarity. We start with authoritative data sources and local mining records, link them to your proposed layout, and outline realistic ground investigation if risk is credible. Where intervention is required, we work with your engineer on stabilisation, gas protection and sequencing so costs and programme are controlled.

Because coalfield sites often overlap with industrial legacies, we align CMRA with Phase 1 Desktop Study to identify contamination and utilities constraints in one coherent picture. If you’re moving quickly, we can deliver phased advice: early red‑flags for your offer, followed by intrusive verification once access is available.

See how CMRA connects with other disciplines via our EnviroSolution services, and get in touch to de‑risk your coalfield site while keeping momentum with planners and funders.
