Designated Investigation Agency | Comprehensive Soil Investigation Procedure to Prevent Leakage from Aging Equipment

A cost optimization study to manage phased sampling from phases 1 to 3 to prevent underground leakage of chemicals due to aging factory infrastructure and disasters.

This document is a practical guide for managers of equipment maintenance, environmental safety, and chemical handling departments at factories and business sites that have been in operation for many years. It aims to detect and prevent the underground leakage of specific hazardous substances from aging pipes and pits at an early stage, thereby preventing future negative legacies and the expansion of environmental liabilities through a phased comprehensive soil investigation. The underground infiltration of liquefied chemicals due to infrastructure aging and disaster risks such as earthquakes is extremely difficult to detect visually, and if left unaddressed, it can lead to severe soil and groundwater contamination, posing a risk of incurring enormous remediation costs. This document explains the specific approach from Phase 1, which identifies potential leakage risk areas based on past equipment layouts and repair histories, to Phases 2 and 3, which involve gradually collecting on-site data. It eliminates excessive investigations that uniformly examine the site and accurately conducts "incremental sampling" at high-risk areas, thereby completely suppressing unnecessary high analysis costs and presenting know-how that achieves robust compliance governance and overwhelming optimization of investigation costs without halting operations.
