Soil Testing & Contamination Assessment
Knowing what is in the ground before it becomes someone's liability.
Overview
Soil analysis appears in EIA baselines, in due diligence on industrial land, and wherever a spill, tank or waste storage area raises the possibility of contamination.
We plan sampling grids and depths appropriate to the question being asked, use accredited laboratories, and interpret results against relevant screening values so the finding leads to a decision rather than a data table.
How we deliver it
- 1
Sampling design
Grid, depth and parameters are set from site history and the purpose of the study.
- 2
Field collection
Samples are collected with appropriate augers and preserved for the parameters involved.
- 3
Analysis
Accredited laboratory analysis is conducted under chain-of-custody control.
- 4
Interpretation
Results are compared to screening or baseline values with recommendations.
Industries we serve
- Industrial land transactions
- Chemical and petroleum handling sites
- Waste storage and landfill areas
- Infrastructure and township projects
- Agro-industrial developments
Frequently asked questions
When is soil contamination assessment needed?
Typically before buying or leasing industrial land, after a spill or tank failure, when a site changes use, or where an EIA or clearance condition requires baseline soil characterisation.
How deep are samples taken?
Depth follows the suspected source and pathway. Surface sampling suits baseline and agricultural questions, while contamination screening usually requires profile sampling to and below the suspected depth.
What happens if contamination is found?
We quantify the extent, assess exposure pathways and set out remediation or risk-management options with indicative costs.
