A contamination assessment may be required when:
Our assessments are tailored to suit the scale, sensitivity, and requirements of each site.
Phase Ground Investigation offers a full range of services designed to identify, quantify, and manage land contamination risks.
A non-intrusive, desk-based study that includes:
This stage identifies whether potential contamination risks exist and whether further investigation is necessary.
Where the Phase 1 study identifies possible risks, a Phase 2 investigation confirms the presence, type, and extent of contamination.
Typical activities include:
Results from this stage support planning submissions and allow for informed development decisions.
If contamination is confirmed, we prepare a detailed Remediation Strategy outlining the mitigation measures required. Strategies may include:
Our designs are fully compliant with planning conditions and environmental regulations.
Once remediation works are complete, a Verification (Validation) Report is produced. This document confirms that all remediation requirements have been met.
A verification report is essential for:

We translate complex geotechnical engineering into clear, understandable recommendations for developers, architects, and homeowners.
We provide assessments for projects of all sizes across the UK.
Typical contamination origins include:
Identifying these risks early helps avoid delays and unforeseen remediation costs.
Local authorities often require contaminated land reports as part of planning applications, particularly for brownfield development. Depending on the site, planning conditions may specify:
Phase Ground Investigation provides all relevant documentation needed to discharge these requirements effectively.
Phase Ground Investigation provides professional, reliable, and planning-ready land contamination assessments for developers, consultants, planners, and landowners across the UK.
Our expertise ensures your project complies with regulations and progresses without unnecessary delay.
