Residential Site Investigation

The successful investigation, assessment and remediation of residential sites is a complex process requiring a range of skill sets to ensure a successful outcome.

 

Increased awareness and current legislation means that a growing number of residential properties and estates are now being investigated to determine whether they were built on contaminated land. The investigation of residential properties presents a number of unique challenges, including:

Communication with residents and addressing their concerns;

Interest from media and other stakeholders;

Limited site accessibility and stringent health and safety requirements;

Representative sampling often across large numbers of individually owned properties;

Minimising disruption to residents and other parties;

Preparation and delivery of appropriate risk assessments.

 

The subsequent remediation of such residential sites can be highly demanding, frequently involving the relocation of households either on a temporary or permanent basis. The remediation phase can also be far longer than the assessment, requiring sustained focus to ensure a successful outcome.
