Contaminated Site Investigations
“Targeted assessment to understand contamination risks and determine the right way forward”
What is a Contaminated Site Investigation?
A contaminated site investigation is used to assess known or suspected contamination that may pose a risk to human health, the environment or future site activities. Investigations can be undertaken in response to unexpected finds, historical site activities, visible signs of contamination or where more information is needed before works can proceed.
The investigation may involve a site inspection, desktop review of available information and targeted sampling of soil or other materials to determine the nature and extent of contamination. The findings can then be used to inform appropriate management, remediation, reuse or disposal decisions.
All Clear Group can undertake targeted contaminated site investigations to help clients understand what contamination may be present, where it is located and what action may be required.
Our environmental team can inspect the site, develop an appropriate sampling approach, collect representative samples and coordinate laboratory analysis for relevant contaminants of concern. Results are then reviewed alongside site observations and project requirements to provide clear, practical recommendations for the next steps.
Investigations can be tailored to suit the issue at hand, whether it is an unexpected find, a stockpile or excavation area or a broader site concern requiring further assessment.

FAQ
Here are some frequently asked questions that we get most about Contaminated Site Investigations.
Site contamination is the presence of substances in soil, groundwater or other materials at levels that may pose a risk to human health or the environment. It can result from historical site activities, fuel storage, imported fill or past pesticide use.
Stop work in the affected area, keep people clear, and avoid moving or removing the material off site. Contact us as soon as possible so we can inspect, sample and advise on the next steps.
We base the sampling approach on a site inspection, available information about the site’s history and the nature of your concern. The aim is to collect representative samples that give a reliable picture of site conditions.
It depends on the size and complexity of the site, the number of samples required and laboratory turnaround times. Once we understand the scope, we can give you a clearer indication.
The results inform the appropriate next step, which may be further investigation, remediation, or a plan for reuse or disposal of affected material. In some circumstances there can be notification obligations, and we can advise on what applies to your situation.
