Desk study
Phase 1 Desk Study, or Preliminary Risk Assessments, should form the first phase of any good site investigation.
Site Investigation
A Phase 2 Intrusive Site Investigation characterises the underlying ground conditions and is an integral part of any development.
Remediation
If remediation is deemed necessary following the Phase 2 works, then a site specific Phase 3 Remediation strategy can be produced.
Validation
Phase 4 Validation Reports comprise final tests on any imported materials to site, or on-site reclaimed materials, to ensure suitably for use.
