Urban developments often occupy properties with previous industrial, commercial, or storage uses. When a liability is discovered only during excavation or earthmoving, the impact can hit schedule, disposal costs, permitting, and project planning.
Preliminary assessment and environmental investigation get ahead of that risk. The site's occupation history is reconstructed, potential sources are identified, and, when necessary, soil and groundwater are investigated before irreversible decisions are made.
In urban areas with limited space, in situ alternatives such as chemical oxidation and surfactant use can be evaluated to reduce the need for large-scale excavation. The right solution depends on the contaminant, its distribution, depth, and subsurface conditions.
Before acquiring, excavating, or redefining the use of a property, turn its history into the technical information you need to decide.
