The environmental surveyors use general surveying techniques to identify the potential impact of environmental factors on construction sites and development. In other words, environmental surveying services provide a detailed understanding of the environment and architectural development.
A baseline or control environmental survey is conducted just before or during the initial stages of project development. This survey pursues to identify the potential for past and present site contamination from hazardous materials, petroleum products, and other pollution sources and identifies possible environmental or occupational health risks. The environmental survey is undertaken on construction sites adversely impacted by hazardous substances while creating a reclamation or mitigation plan.
Once baseline environmental survey data is determined then the next step topography survey taken to collect information on the existing physical features of a particular area. These surveys are common when designing buildings, roads, subdivisions, parking lots, or athletic fields.
Environmental Surveys are Used to Conduct:
- Flood risk assessments on new construction.
- Contaminated land assessments to determine the threat level posed to proposed or existing buildings.
- Environmental screening to determine whether the property may be susceptible to some type of environmental hazards.
- Monitoring well water for potential pollution risks.
- Fire risk assessments.
- Asbestos surveys in older structures.
