Site Investigation

Site Investigation

WRScompass has provided assessment services at more than 1,500 sites and we are intimately familiar with the assessment process and the associated regulatory requirements.  Specific site assessment activities range from Phase 1, 2, and 3 Environmental Site Assessments for property transactions, to fully defining the horizontal and vertical extent of non-aqueous phase liquids, contaminated soils, sediments, surface water, and/or groundwater within the context of a variety of federal and state regulatory settings and requirements.

We have expertise with the various tools and technologies used to streamline site assessment activities, including:


  • Direct push technologies
  • Cone penetrometer testing
  • Down-hole geophysical logging
  • Test trenching
  • Direct push drill rig sampling
  • GIS/GPS electronic field data collection
  • Geophysical surveys (ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic surveys)
  • Laser-induced fluorescence 
  • Membrane interface probe
  • Passive diffusion bag sampling
  • Soil gas surveys
  • Triad sampling
