Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI)

As the first step in an investigation, the purpose of the PSI is to identify if your site has had any potentially contaminating history. The objective is to determine if the site has had “Hazardous Industries or Activities List” (HAIL) usage.
The report usually includes:

Detailed Site Investigation (DSI)

The next stage of an investigation, required only if the PSI identified that it is more likely than not that HAIL activities have occurred at the site, is a DSI. This report includes:

Remediation Action Plan (RAP)

If site clean-up (remediation) is required, Geohazard Environmental Ltd can prepare a RAP that describes what actions should be taken to meet cleanup targets agreed between the client and the council.

Site Management Plans (SMP)

Sometimes the best way to control a site is by managing the risks to human health and the environment. This could be as simple as maintaining a barrier between contaminants and the receiving environment. A Site Management Plan formalises the steps agreed to minimise the risks.

Site Validation Report (SVR)

If remediation has been undertaken, a Validation Report is used to show to the Council that the objectives have been met, and the site is suitable for the proposed use. A validation report usually includes:
