A walkover survey is a visual inspection of a development site conducted on foot to:
Purpose:
- Verify desk study information
- Identify potential contamination sources
- Assess current site conditions
What's examined:
- Structures, tanks, pipework, drains
- Ground cover and vegetation
- Adjacent land uses
- Evidence of staining, odours, or contamination
Timing:
Conducted early in the environmental assessment process, typically after the desk study phase.
Outcome:
Informs the design of further ground investigation works and helps develop the conceptual site model for contaminated land risk assessment.
It's essentially a "boots on the ground" reconnaissance to see what's actually there versus what the paperwork suggests.
An environmental report gives you confidence in your project. It satisfies planning requirements, keeps your professional team informed, and ensures you're building on solid foundations - both literally and figuratively. If issues are found, they're usually manageable with proper planning.
You'll know exactly what you're working with from day one. This means more accurate budgets, appropriate design solutions, and smoother planning applications. Most importantly, it demonstrates to all stakeholders that you've done your homework.
