Countercheck
It’s not easy to interpret a soil investigation report correctly. Hardly surprising – soil investigation is a specialist trade, requiring explanation by experienced consultants. What you need is a reliable partner who can explain the report and countercheck it. In particular when conflicting interests are at stake, a second opinion may provide the right solution.
A soil investigation remains valid for about three years. From that time on a new investigation has to show whether the soil quality has changed. Another possibility is that doubt has arisen about the reliability of past soil investigations; counterchecking by making a new, thorough inventory should provide the definite answer. Any number of situations may arise, in which a countercheck by a reliable, expert organisation is desirable. You may think of the real estate market, governmental domains, industrial zones and private property. Building, demolition and renovation projects often meet with unnecessary delays if parties don’t seek independent advice to settle disputes, should any arise.
Search carries out all types of soil, groundwater, asbestos-in-soil and asbestos-in-debris investigations by its own staff. Soil investigation is an independent service, but it’s also part of our integrated service package covering soil investigation, project management and operative management of soil decontamination projects. Bringing in Search means that you’re assured of independent, expert consultation and support.
Expert soil investigation in accordance with the statutory frameworks is the basis for our counterchecks. In exceptional cases, existing investigation reports will therefore have to be supplemented with (limited) extra investigations. In most cases, however, existing reports contain enough data to assess the situation correctly.On the basis of these reports, our highly qualified consultants can draw up accurate cost estimates for you, which provide good points of reference for contracting out soil decontamination or for arranging a real estate transaction. Our consultants provide clarifying, clearly worded counterchecks, which put a stop to any uncertainty. The report includes pragmatic advice on the best approach to soil decontamination, if necessary.
