Geoenvironmental Core Services
Phase 1
Desk Study
Environmental Risk Assessment
A Phase 1 Desk Study Report forms the first stage of any construction project. The aim of the study is to provide a holistic overview of a sites’ history and environmental setting, which may then influence the objectives of the Site Investigation.
Phase 2
Site Investigation
Contamination Risk Assessment
An intrusive site investigation is tailored to your site and involves the collection and analysis of soil, surface water, groundwater and ground-gas data to locate the presence and severity of any potential sources of contamination that may present a risk to end users.
Phase 3
Remediation Strategy
If you are the owner of a contaminated site, a remediation strategy will be produced using the findings of the Phase 2 Site Investigation. A remediation strategy allows you to manage your environmental liabilities and outlines what measures need to be taken to remediate, remove or make safe residual contamination.
Phase 4
Verification / Validation
Verification and validation works are undertaken following Phase 3 remediation works. The purpose is to confirm the remedial works have been successful and documented to aid in the approval stage by regulatory bodies.
What our clients say
Neilcott has worked with Ground & Water for over six years now and I personally have worked with Francis and the team for four years to successfully deliver numerous residential, educational and commercial schemes. Ground & Water offers support to Neilcott for both tender submissions and live projects providing a complete range of soil investigation services. In addition to their onsite services, Ground & Water continues to provide off site assistance in the form of industry specific Continued Professional Development workshops, which are beneficial to our project teams in understanding working practices and required methods in relation to varying site conditions. Ground & Water’s close working relationship provides Neilcott with an open minded, diligent approach to deliver cost and time effective investigations to understand site conditions as part of our enabling works for our sites. The approach aforementioned, in conjunction with comprehensive reporting and ongoing assistance throughout the planning and groundwork stages, is a key driver for maintaining our good working relationship with them.
