| Short description: |
The aim of NORISC project is to provide a standard guideline in form of a decision tool software
system for more efficient characterisation and risk assessment of contamination profiles
in urban areas. The system combines and integrates new and existing site investigation
methods focusing on in situ and on site techniques including geophysical screening, (hydro-)
geological survey, chemical analysis, toxicological and other short tests in order to gain a
faster, cheaper and more reliable site assessment. The approach is based on flexible and
dynamic investigation strategy as well, supporting on site positioning and GIS based data
processing that includes geo-statistics and modelling. The developed guideline is being verified
against quantifiable and quality criteria, so real field tests with detailed evaluation are carried
out. The NORISC system will be a valuable tool for city planners, decision-makers, landowners,
investors and other stakeholders in contaminated site management, especially in brownfield
redevelopment.
