At Roberts Environmental we provide a comprehensive Phase II Site Investigation service to a wide variety of clients throughout the UK.
Phase II Site Investigations can be carried out as;
A requirement of planning to evaluate the contamination status of the property
To identify any contamination which may be present, derived from current and historical development/site activities
Subsequent to findings of Phase 1 and Conceptual Site Mode where significant historical contamination may have been identified or the site is being developed into a more sensitive end use.
Used to amend Conceptual Site Model
Our Phase II Environmental Site Investigation Reports and Risk Assessments enable property owners and developers to make informed decisions on the contamination status of a site.
Phase II Site Investigations are used to advise on foundation design by testing soils for engineering properties, which are later passed on to engineering and construction contractors.
Phase II Site Investigations are carried out in accordance with:
A number of methods are used such as trial pitting and boreholes to investigate subsurface for soil engineering properties and contamination.
We can provide a fully comprehensive service including mobilisation of subcontracted drilling crews and excavators and oversee intrusive works. Our engineers maintain a site presence throughout each fieldwork project and will log and sample soils, as well as carry out in situ testing.
Samples are collected during each investigation and sent to UKAS accredited laboratories for further testing to identify any potential contamination and soil engineering properties.
The findings of the investigation and subsequent laboratory testing are compiled in a Phase II Geo-Environmental Report and Risk Assessment. Within this, recommendations are made with regards to possible remediation strategies if significant contamination is identified, and also with regards to shallow foundation design, based on geotechnical parameters.
The Phase II report can also be used to satisfy conditions of planning.
