We provide advice to private companies and public bodies on matters related to contaminated land.
We conduct contaminated land studies at various levels: desk studies to demonstrate that intrusive investigations are not necessary; desktop studies of the history and environmental context of the site; phase 1 (exploratory) and phase 2 (detailed) intrusive investigations; risk analyses; and characterization of the soil remaining after excavation.
