Phase II Site Investigation

Our Phase II Site Investigations are detailed phased surveys of sites including large industrial facilities, ranging from single site to whole portfolio management. They examine the nature and extent of ground contamination present on a site, identify issues which exceed a material liability threshold and advise on any necessary capital expenditure, such as remediation or improvements in environmental management in order to reduce risk to an acceptable level.

Argyll's qualified environmental consultants will collect a range of soil, groundwater and gas/vapour samples for analysis and testing. This enables the identification of unacceptable risk and any liabilities which may result in constraints to continued use or redevelopment of a site by assessing impacts on human health, controlled waters, building/services and designated ecological receptors.

Key Features of our Phase II Site Investigation

  • Flexible investigations customised to the site and suited to the deal in question to meet your timescale.
  • Provision of a quantitative risk assessment to determine the site's suitability for current or proposed use.
  • As necessary, recommendations for further technical assessment, remediation options appraisal and strategy and associated capital expenditure.
  • Investigations are conducted by specialist geo-environmental engineers, with project management by experienced IEMA-accredited senior consultant.
  • As necessary, regulatory approval for investigation and remediation design will be obtained where planning applications are involved.
  • Provision of risk management solutions via tailored further investigation or access to environmental insurance.
  • Provision of a non-technical summary to demystify the technical data.
  • All Argyll products are supported by direct access to the Consultancy team. Our experts provide experienced and professional advice at no extra charge.
