Validation and Monitoring

Validation works can comprise inspection of the removal of tanks or ‘hotspots’ of contamination, sampling and testing of soils to confirm chemical suitability for a proposed end use, inspection of the thickness of a placed clean cover system to ensure it meets the agreed requirements, or groundwater sampling and testing to confirm remedial target values are being achieved following remedial works.

These types of activities are usually required by the Local Authority and / or other regulators to prove that the necessary works have been successfully undertaken.
