CONTAMINATED SITES

CONTAMINATED SITES

Site contamination is an issue facing companies at an ever increasing rate as brownfields development grows and environmental impacts from legacy practices continue to linger. Mis-management of site impacts can have consequences on your property value or huge impacts to the cost of projects. 

Environmental Site Services can provide clear, pragmatic advice to navigate your project through the often technical and complex requirements of Contaminated Sites Act. 

PRELIMINARY SITE ASSESSMENT (PSI)

How much do you really know about a site’s history and environmental condition? Acquiring new property always has inherent risks, so understanding the site ground conditions is essential to identify potential constraints before they become liabilities in the development process.

Environmental Site Services can tailor preliminary site investigations to your requirements and the site itself. 

DETAILED SITE ASSESSMENT (DSI)

Where site impacts are suspected it’s essential to take the right approach from the start. And the key to this is establishing your desired outcome, then working backwards to find the right solution. Without a strong focus on the objectives, site assessments can meet all the requirements of the Contaminated Sites Guidelines, but often don’t get you any closer to a solution. 

Environmental Site Services can draw on our technical knowledge to develop sampling strategies with purpose. With the ability to employ advanced field sampling techniques, we can provide cost-effective and truly informative understanding of the issues your site faces. Our site sampling capabilities encompass all aspects of assessing:
