Why Site Investigation?
According to the public report, the soil environment in China is not optimistic, with soil pollution in some areas being severe, particularly concerning industrial and mining wastelands. For investors and developers, sites without prior investigation may harbor high remediation costs and legal disputes.
WESSLING's Three-Phase Environmental Site Assessment
WESSLING follows an internationally recognized assessment framework combined with local regulations to provide regorous and efficient services.
Phase I: Contamination Identification
Our experts conduct site inspections, review historical records (such as historical arerial images), and interview personnel to identify potential sources of contamination. This phase involves no sampling and aims to efficiently assess risks, providing a basis for subsequent work.
Phase II: Site Investigation
This phase focues on sampling and analysis. We develop scientific sampling plans, conduct on-site sampling of soil, groundwater, and building structures, followed by laboratory analysis to confirm the presence, type, and extent of contamination.
Phase III: Risk Assessment
Based on detailed data, we conduct health and ecological risk assessment, determine remediation targets, and develop remediation plans and cost estimates that meet national and international standards.
Project Consulting: Proposal optimization and regulatory strategy
Expert Investigation: On-site inspection and environmental risk assessment
Planning: Sampling strategy and implementation plan development
