TransGrid / Phase 2 Environmental Investigation - Q30/09

Phase 2 Environmental Investigation at Beaconsfield West Substation.

The purpose of this Specification is to describe sampling, testing and reporting of results for Phase 2 soil testing at the Principal’s Beaconsfield West substation. Phase Two Contamination Investigation is being undertaken in accordance with corporate procedure Contaminated Land Management (GD EN G3 021).                                                                                                                      

The Principal wishes to determine:

1.      the extent of contamination (if any) resulting from possible leakage of electrical transformer oil through the floor of existing permanent bunds that contain the transformers

2.      if any contaminants have migrated beyond the vicinity of the bunded areas

3.      if any contaminants have reached the water table

4.      (if required) measures that could be taken to prevent leaching oil and/or contaminants entering land or water beyond the boundary of the property, in particular  Alexandra Canal.

The successful Tenderer will conduct sampling and interpret contamination analysis of both soil and water samples. The final report will include recommendations for the containment of any sub-surface contamination within the Principal’s property.
