Designated Investigation Agency | Early Soil Investigation of Legacy Risks at Chemical Substance Handling Factories
Thoroughly visualize the leakage risks of chemicals held by factories through early soil condition surveys. Advance the inventory of legacy risks to completely avoid future negative legacies.
In factories and businesses that handle chemical substances, soil contamination caused by past operational history and aging equipment can become an environmental liability that significantly adversely affects the future of the company. Allowing these issues to go unaddressed at an invisible stage may lead to enormous remediation costs and legal disputes in the future, potentially resulting in a "negative legacy" that undermines the company's social credibility. To preemptively mitigate such risks, it is extremely important to voluntarily conduct a legacy risk inventory from the operational stage and implement specific preventive measures to prevent chemical leaks. GeoTech, a designated investigation agency for environmental management, offers early soil condition surveys that comprehensively identify potential contamination risks on-site. By using the latest compact equipment for accurate sampling without halting the production line, it is possible to obtain high-precision data while minimizing the impact on operations. By making early risk assessments based on objective analysis results and establishing an appropriate governance structure, the asset value of the land can be reliably protected.
basic information
GeoTech's early soil overview survey complies with strict official methods as a designated investigation agency under the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act. The investigation specifications cover a seamless process from Phase 1 (historical investigation), which involves a thorough review of the past chemical substance handling history on the site, to Phase 2 (overview survey), which conducts high-precision sampling of surface soil gas and groundwater. Considering the operational environment of factories, we utilize compact drilling machines that operate with low vibration and noise, making them suitable for narrow spaces and indoor use, allowing for the rapid identification of the presence and diffusion status of specific hazardous substances. We support accredited analysis for all 26 items and issue highly reliable certificates.

Applications/Examples of results
The main uses are for regular environmental risk audits and leak prevention checks in chemical handling departments such as chemical plants, plating factories, and automotive maintenance shops. Additionally, it is utilized for inventory purposes to clarify hidden environmental liabilities (legacy risks) during the redevelopment of company-owned land, changes in land use, organizational restructuring, and asset valuation related to mergers and acquisitions. Furthermore, it is ideal for voluntary early assessments to prevent secondary contamination in surrounding areas and for obtaining compliance certifications to meet global environmental standards (ESG investment compliance). It is widely implemented in situations where unexpected costs in operations need to be mitigated, allowing for safe land acquisition and asset management while maintaining operations.
