WHAT THIS REPRESENTS
Exploratory and descriptive soil investigations and preparation of earth-moving report, if necessary remediation.
THE VARIOUS STEPS
FROM SOIL INVESTIGATION TO REMEDIATION
Before any remediation work can take place, it must first be established whether the soil is contaminated. This is done as part of a preliminary soil investigation.
The soil expert examines whether there is historical contamination that is a clear indication of serious soil contamination or new contamination that exceeds or threatens to exceed soil remediation standards. After all, in these cases, a follow-up step is required.
The next step is to determine the extent of the contamination and whether it needs to be remediated. This is done in a descriptive soil survey*.
*The survey shall be prepared by a recognised type II soil expert.
USE OF SOIL MATERIALS (EARTH-MOVING)
You are building and you need to excavate an amount of soil and have it removed. All these works release soil materials.
The earth-moving regulations set out what needs to be done when you carry out earthworks.
