Environmental Site Assessments
Every site is unique, so it is critical to understand the environmental conditions on a site‑specific scale. Our large team of site assessment professionals will work with you to review your site information and create a plan to assess and better understand the potential risks and liabilities associated with your site. We work with you to develop the best approach to help manage your environmental liabilities while meeting regulatory requirements and other stakeholder expectations.
We have multidisciplinary teams that can be assembled to meet the technical needs of your project, regardless of complexity. Leveraging our in‑house expertise in soil science, hydrogeology, contaminant fate and transport, geophysics, geochemistry, numerical modelling, and ecological risk assessment, we deliver quality and cost‑effective environmental site assessments to address your environmental requirements.
Environmental site assessment (ESA) services include:
- Phase 1 ESAs
- Phase 2 ESAs
- Geological and geophysical surveys
- Soil gas surveys
- Groundwater investigations
- Surface water, sediment, and wetland assessments
- Conceptual site models (CSM)
- Contaminant fate and transport modelling
- Numerical modelling
- Monitoring programs
- Site-specific liability assessments (SSLAs)
