Soil investigation in the Aa-landen city centre area
The Municipality of Zwolle is working on the renewal of the Aa-landen city centre area. From March 25 to 27, we will conduct a soil investigation in the area. On April 7, we will also take water samples. In this news article, you can read what will happen and what you may notice.
What will happen?
Research agency WSP will carry out the soil investigation from March 25 to 27. On April 7, the researchers will return to take water samples from monitoring wells.
What will you notice?
Two field workers from WSP will conduct the investigation. They will arrive in one or two vans bearing the WSP logo. The work will be done manually; no large machinery will be used.
You may hear some noise, such as tapping or knocking of metal on stone. The work site will be marked with stakes. After completion, the researchers will restore the ground and pavement neatly.
On April 7, the researchers will take water samples from the monitoring wells. This will be done quickly and without causing any nuisance. The field workers often work in busy locations. If you have any questions, they will be happy to provide a brief explanation.
Why are we conducting this investigation?
The Aa-landen city centre area is being redeveloped into the heart of the district. It will become a place to live, meet, shop, learn, and relax. Among other things, new homes, a school, a community centre, a square, and more green spaces will be created.
Soil investigation is a mandatory step in such projects. This allows us to check whether the ground is suitable for construction and whether measures are needed to ensure safe and healthy building.
