A great importance is given these days
to the investigation of the sites that are proposed for further construction
works. It’s the proper investigation of the site that can help us know more
about the potential contamination present at that place. If we ignore this
aspect and continue with the further construction works, then the workers at
the site can have greater chance to suffer from a wide range of health issues.
Contamination at the site can occur with its soil as well as groundwater. Even
the air of that place can get contaminated due to the asbestos particles. Most
of the construction materials that we use these days carry the asbestos. So
when these materials are used, there is always chance for asbestos
contamination at the site.
- Contamination can also occur due to
previous activities
In case there were some activities
conducted at that site previously, then also contamination can occur. To trace
the possible contamination, detailed
site investigation NSW is always necessary. As the name suggests, this type
of investigation is done in a very detailed manner. However, this is the phase
two site investigation and this is conducted after the phase one site
assessment.
preliminary site investigation NSW
- This goes step by step
During the preliminary site investigation NSW, the experts use to analyze the
type of contamination there at the site. They try to figure out whether or not
the contamination is there. For this they also collect the groundwater and soil
samples and tests them. This step is also called as Preliminary Risk Assessment
or in short PRA. It is then followed by the phase two site assessment and
necessary steps are taken to reduce or eliminate the contamination.
