Designated Investigation Agency | Soil Investigation to Prevent Damage Compensation After Sale | Geotech
Soil contamination survey
Soil measures to eliminate the risk of defects in the sale by conducting a voluntary historical land investigation in advance to avoid significant damage claims or liability for non-conformity after the sale of the land.
In real estate sales, soil contamination that is discovered after the handover poses a significant business risk, leading to enormous contractual liability and damage claims for the seller. To completely eliminate the risk of undisclosed defects in the transaction, which cannot be excused by ignorance, and to maintain the financial soundness of the company, it is essential for the seller to conduct voluntary soil investigations. This document presents practical approaches aimed at corporate management and asset management personnel to perfectly prevent future legal disputes. First, through a voluntary historical land use investigation that thoroughly examines past land use patterns, potential risks such as the presence of specific hazardous substances and the possibility of underground infiltration are meticulously identified. Furthermore, by conducting accurate sampling based on scientific evidence and precise official analysis, robust evidence proving the safety of the land is established. The high-precision investigations and neutral reports provided by the designated investigation agency, Geotech, will effectively protect corporate value and social credibility from any future litigation risks.

basic information
This is the specification for a voluntary soil survey that fully complies with the Ministry of the Environment's designated standards and guidelines. In the document investigation phase, we will examine historical maps from the Meiji era onwards, aerial photographs, changes in land numbers, as well as factory layout diagrams and chemical usage history. In the field investigation phase, we will use portable sampling equipment with excellent mobility to collect soil and soil gas samples without affecting operations, even inside buildings or in confined spaces. Analysis will be conducted at our own or partner laboratories registered for measurement certification, quickly measuring the leachate and content of specific hazardous substances, including various VOCs, heavy metals, and PCBs, and delivering the results as an environmental survey report with legal evidential capability.
