Phase 2 Ground Investigation can usually be scoped faster when the project team sends the core site, planning and design information at the outset. The useful inputs are specific to this service, so the checklist below focuses on the evidence that affects the technical scope rather than a generic document list.
Use this guidance to check what may be needed before you submit information.
If the wording on your planning condition, tender request or site constraint is unclear, send it to EnviroSolution and we can advise which report, survey or assessment is likely to be relevant.
Information to send for Phase 2 Ground Investigation
- Site address and red-line boundary plan
- Phase 1 Desk Study and previous reports where available
- Planning condition wording or regulator comments
- Proposed development layout and current site use
- Access constraints and buried-services information
- Investigation deadline and any monitoring or design requirements
Project details that can change the scope
Used to discharge contaminated-land planning conditions, investigate risks identified by a Phase 1 Desk Study or preliminary risk assessment, support land acquisition and due diligence, and provide measured ground data for remediation or development design.
Tell us what decision the work needs to support, the submission or construction deadline, and whether another consultant, authority or regulator has already specified an output. That lets the scope respond to the actual project requirement instead of producing unnecessary work.
What we can confirm from that information
Once the available information has been reviewed, the commission can be aligned with the outputs the wider team needs. Depending on the agreed scope this commonly includes:
- Review of the Phase 1, planning condition and Conceptual Site Model
- Site-specific intrusive investigation and sampling plan
- Trial pits, boreholes or other intrusive techniques as scoped
- Soil, groundwater and ground gas sampling or monitoring where required
- Accredited laboratory chemical testing and geotechnical testing where appropriate
- Interpretation of results and quantitative risk assessment where required
Before you submit the enquiry
Use current drawings where possible and include the exact wording of any planning condition, validation request, tender clause or regulator comment. If information is missing, identify that clearly rather than delaying the enquiry: we can confirm whether it is essential before the work starts.
