Where a Phase I desk study identifies the requirement for further investigations on a site, a Phase II intrusive site investigation is usually recommended. The investigations are usually designed as a combination of geotechnical and contaminated land assessments, in order to support planning applications or to discharge planning or building conditions.

The purpose of a Phase 2 Site Investigation is to physically inspect the condition of the soil, groundwater and surface water that may have been impacted by the sources of contamination identified in the Phase I Desk Study.  The Phase II investigation is site specific with the method(s) of investigation chosen being dependent on a number of factors, such as access, operational constraints, geology, potential contaminant sources and the receptors to be targeted (e.g. shallow soils, groundwater).
