Designated Investigation Agency | Comprehensive Investigation Leading Negotiations in Land Sales | Geotech
Soil contamination survey
Securing overwhelming leadership and transparency in land sale negotiations! A comprehensive environmental survey covering everything from usage history investigation to soil gas analysis and clear determination of contamination scope.
In high-value transactions of commercial real estate or negotiations for land purchases, proceeding with a deal while the risk of underground soil contamination remains unclear poses a critical risk of either accepting unjust discount demands or facing substantial environmental defect damage claims after the transfer. This comprehensive investigation service provides a practical solution to fully visualize the environmental safety of the land before the transaction, ensuring a leading position and overwhelming transparency in the negotiation process. First, in Phase 1, the usage history investigation thoroughly examines the registry, closure drawings, and changes in land classification history to objectively identify areas of concern regarding hazardous substances. Next, in Phase 2, a high-precision on-site investigation is conducted, including rapid soil gas analysis and surface sampling, to scientifically verify the presence of contamination, including Class 1 specified hazardous substances. In the event of contamination detection, detailed drilling is carried out to accurately determine the extent of contamination, allowing for logical calculation of specific remedial costs, which serves as a solid basis for liability clauses and price adjustments in the contract, effectively blocking unfavorable transactions.
