What are environmental surveys for, and how are they carried out

Before starting construction, you need to conduct a lot of research, draw up a project, make calculations and prepare documents. An important part of engineering research is environmental surveys. They are carried out to assess the state of the environment at the site of a future construction site, predict its possible changes, and understand how the located building will affect the environment. What will be the situation in the region in the development zone? What are the risks to people's lives in the current environment? These and other questions will be answered by the conducted research. The decision to carry out construction cannot be made if these surveys are not done. They can be ordered separately, or you can order them in combination with others, for example, geological, geodetic and hydrometeorological.

The procedure for conducting environmental surveys

Engineering and environmental surveys, as a rule, are needed when planning capital construction, reconstruction of buildings. The work is carried out according to the established regulations. In general, they look like this:

• Data on the environment is collected (archive, stock base is used).
• The natural environment and polluting factors are assessed.
• It is determined whether pollution will spread, whether a technogenic negative impact will occur, and what its dynamics will be.
• Measure the background radiation on the ground.
• They take soil samples to find out if it contains oil products, salts of heavy metals, gas-chemical substances.
• Take samples of air, soil, groundwater.
• Provide a social and economic assessment of the area, conduct a general analysis of the environment and environmental monitoring.
• They process all the information received and form a report, which includes a forecast of the environmental situation in the event of construction / repair of the facility.

Such work requires not only a high level of knowledge, but also the availability of professional equipment, such as a mobile field laboratory, measuring instruments, instruments for collecting samples. An accredited laboratory is required for research and measurement of physical factors.

It is important that environmental surveys are carried out in full and in compliance with the requirements and rules. Invalid results will lead to additional project costs.

Where to order surveys in Moscow

Comprehensive engineering surveys are carried out by InzhMosGeo in accordance with all the rules. Experts also help with obtaining a building permit. Work experience of employees - from 12 years. InzhMosGeo has an SRO approval and guarantees the completion of high-quality surveys within a maximum of 3 weeks.
