Geological, environmental and fire safety documentation

Drawing on the experience of its staff, VICESIMA provides complete support for investment projects in geotechnics and engineering geology. We prepare geological studies for every stage of a project.

Businesses investing in industry and real estate need a valuation that matches the scale of the undertaking. In our experience, investors pay too little attention to the factors that reduce the value of a property burdened by an "environmental mortgage". On undeveloped land where production or service activity was previously carried out, contamination of the ground is common. If the site is to be adapted for housing, it will have to be brought up to the relevant soil quality standards, and removing such contamination often costs as much as the property itself. For production plants there is a further cost to consider: adapting equipment and procedures to the applicable law.

Through work with a number of international groups we have experience in preparing documentation that meets international standards — the documentation needed to value both investment land and production plants being acquired.

Studies we prepare

• Project Information Sheet (KIP);
• Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA);
• Environmental Site Assessment (ESA);
• Health & Safety Environmental Due Diligence Assessment (HSEDDA);
• Remediation Action Plan (RAP);
• reports on completed remediation;
• local groundwater monitoring programmes;
• periodic testing within local groundwater monitoring;
• fire safety instructions;
• explosion protection documents.
