What does EnviroSmart solve?

The EnviroSmart contamination Report is designed to assess whether a site has potential contamination issues, state who and what is at risk, and outline the solutions available.

Our contaminated land consultants assess available environmental data and historical mapping to determine the risk level based on regulatory guidance, professional judgement and years of experience.

The report provides clear and pragmatic advice regarding the nature and potential significance of contamination hazards which may be present.

They are the most cost effective way to validate planning applications and to meet local authority planning conditions.

If your site has a commercial or industrial history, you may require a more detailed land contamination assessment including a site walkover. Your Local Authority may also request a site walkover regardless of previous land use.

Our EnviroSmart Plus and EnviroSmart Pro reports include a site walkover survey undertaken by a qualified consultant and are designed to verify the findings of the desk study and visually inspect the site and surrounding area.

"During the conveyancing process for my current house purchase, I was extremely concerned to find the general search results revealed the house was at 'moderate risk of groundwater flooding'. I was unable to get any further information from anyone until I contacted GeoSmart. The staff I spoke to were friendly, helpful, efficient and extremely knowledgeable. The information provided was very site specific and focused. The staff member who talked me through the information and maps provided was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions and allowed me plenty of time to discuss issues. Thanks to GeoSmart for their great service."
