The site investigation phase of any pollution event is the most critical stage as it is essential that the extent of the contamination is accurately and fully identified. To that end SpillResolve has developed and maintained the strictest investigation protocols and procedures. Our site investigations include the following:

• Initial emergency site attendance and advice to include the collection of on-site data, readings, measurements, identification of potential of human and environmental risks and assessment of the need for emergency containment works
• Semi-intrusive site investigations to include VOC probe surveys and trial pits to plot the contaminant extent
• Provision of intrusive site investigations including trial pit and hand auger surveys, window sampling surveys to 7m below ground level and mechanically excavated trial pits to plot the contaminant extent
