We undertake Preliminary Site Investigations and/or Detailed Site Investigations to assess the soils on-site based on various codes and guidelines as per National Environment Protection Measure (NEPM 1999, revised 2003).
If any contamination is identified in the soils onsite and requires remediation, a remediation plan report is prepared, and a remediation contractor is engaged. Upon completion of the clean-up (post-remediation), further testing of soils is undertaken, and a validation report is prepared, which would then deem the soils on site are clear of contamination and that the site can be used for the proposed development or existing use.
