When evaluating land assets, specialists take into account several factors such as location, opportunity for development, price, etc. However, one of the most important parts of the evaluation process is often overlooked.

That is the underground site investigation, similar to an underground tomography of the property that often reveals buried hazards such as cavities, erosion, poor compaction, buried tunnels, channels or any other type of construction (walls, foundations), active or abandoned utilities, pipelines, buried tanks, unexploded ordnance or any other buried hazards.
A site that has not been properly investigated to reveal its subterranean landscape is itself a hazard and a gamble that developers cannot afford. Hidden underground liabilities are a risk that should not be assumed. |
