Understanding the Risks Beneath Your Site: Why CMRAs Matter

When you look at a plot of land, you might only see what’s on the surface. But if that land sits within a coalfield, there could be unseen hazards beneath. That’s where a Coal Mining Risk Assessment comes in.

Coal mining activity—past or present—can leave voids, shafts, and weakened ground. These features may not be visible from the surface but can cause serious problems during construction or after completion. Settlement, cracking, and even collapse are possible if ground conditions aren’t understood and addressed.

A CMRA investigates the site’s history using Coal Authority records, geological mapping, and, if required, site visits. It identifies whether your site lies in a “Development High Risk Area” and assesses the probability and potential impact of mining-related hazards.

At EnviroSolution, our CMRAs go beyond the minimum. We provide practical recommendations, ensuring your project design addresses any risks before they become costly obstacles.

If your site is within a coalfield, don’t guess—know. Start with a Coal Mining Risk Assessment and build with confidence.
