Designated Investigation Agency | Early Soil Condition Survey of Factories to Mitigate Environmental Liabilities during M&A
Soil contamination survey
Completely eliminate defect risks associated with factory sites due to M&A and organizational restructuring. Advance the inventory of legacy risks and block environmental liabilities through early soil condition surveys.
In the context of corporate restructuring, M&A, or the sale of factory sites and asset liquidation, hidden soil contamination poses a serious risk factor that can lead to deal cancellations or long-term disputes with buyers. To avoid these issues being classified as defects (negative legacies) that are discovered after the transfer, it is essential to voluntarily conduct a legacy risk inventory before the sales contract, accurately assessing the scale of environmental liabilities. GeoTech, a designated investigation agency, provides high-precision early soil surveys specialized in chemical handling sectors, establishing reliable evidence. Even in operating factories, there is no need to halt production lines or logistics, as rapid sampling is conducted using unique small-scale equipment, ensuring no impact on daily operations. Early assessments based on objective official analysis results significantly enhance transaction transparency and strongly support sincere negotiations led by sellers and smooth consensus building.

basic information
This survey package is a specialized program conducted under the strict standards of designated investigation agencies based on the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act, prior to the sale or transaction. Phase 1 (historical investigation) analyzes the past handling history of the target site to clarify areas of concentrated risk, thoroughly eliminating unnecessary sampling costs. In the subsequent Phase 2 (overview investigation), portable sampling equipment designed for low noise and vibration is deployed, allowing access to the interiors of operational buildings and narrow sites. Soil gas and groundwater sampling is completed swiftly. Based on official analytical methods, the presence or absence of all 26 hazardous substances is determined early, and a reliable report is issued.

Applications/Examples of results
The main use is for pre-environmental risk assessments in corporate M&A, organizational restructuring within groups, and asset liquidity of former factory sites (trust establishment and REIT incorporation). It is widely utilized by real estate brokerage firms, developers, and financial institutions when acquiring land, to supplement important explanatory materials and avoid the risks of disclosure obligations. It is ideal for early identification of hidden environmental liabilities (legacy risks) before contract signing, allowing for the inclusion of appropriate warranty clauses in contracts. This serves as an essential introduction to practices that prevent massive damage compensation disputes after transactions and ensure social credibility and economic governance.
