IAQM ECN site visit: Imperial Road gasworks redevelopment, London
This event is free and exclusively open to members of the IAQM Early Careers Network.
The IAQM Early Careers Network (ECN) Subcommittee are excited to host a site visit to the redevelopment project taking place at Imperial Road gasworks on the 18th February in Fulham, London.
The event is free and exclusively open to members of the IAQM ECN*. The event will be taking place in-person, with no hybrid/remote options available.
King's Road Park is St William’s (part of the Berkeley Group) redevelopment of the Imperial Road gasworks in Fulham, West London. The site, which was in use as a gasworks for over 100 years, has been heavily impacted by its previous land use. The remediation and redevelopment require the excavation and removal of a significant amount of contaminated material including BTEX, ammonium, coal tar and other odour- and VOC-generating substances in this constrained urban area. As such, the odour control and monitoring strategy is of utmost importance to the project and local stakeholders. Therefore, a robust, multilayered approach ensuring best practice and minimal practicable disturbance during the works has been adopted. This project also provided some of the inspiration and background for the latest IAQM guidance on Good Practice on Air Quality Monitoring for Brownfield Projects.
The visit will involve a number of talks, including from a member of the team that worked on the monitoring strategy for the project. We will then have a tour which will showcase site operations and the air quality and odour monitoring strategy. This offers a fantastic opportunity to see how air quality guidance is applied on an operating construction site and gain valuable CPD.
We have 14 spaces available, so act quickly and register your interest in a place using the 'book now' button. Spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis, with more information to follow for those who secure a space. Registering is not confirmation of your attendance. If you are not within the first 14 registrants, you will be offered the option to join a waitlist should spaces become available. Once spaces are allocated and the waitlist is full, the form will be closed.
Want to attend but not sure how to make the case to your employer?
We know it can be challenging to make the business case to attend events as an Early Career professional, so we have created a Business Case to Attend IAQM ECN Events document (.docx download) to help you do this, which is permanently available on the IAQM ECN webpage. Please feel free to download and edit the document so that it best suits your personal requirements. If you have any questions, get in touch with communities@the-ies.org.
*We define ‘early careers’ as the first 10 years of your career in air quality, so please do not register if you fall outside of this criteria as you will not be allocated a space.
