Site contamination investigations are a critical step in identifying potential environmental hazards and managing risks associated with contaminated land. At BHM, our team of skilled environmental engineers is experienced in conducting site contamination investigations to evaluate the extent and severity of contamination, and to develop appropriate remediation strategies.
The first step in a site contamination investigation typically involves a Phase 1 Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI) to identify potential contamination sources and assess the likelihood of contamination. This includes a review of the site history, a site inspection, and interviews with key stakeholders to identify potential sources of contamination.
If contamination is suspected, a Phase 2 Detailed Site Investigation (DSI) is conducted to determine the extent and severity of contamination. This involves the collection and analysis of soil, water, and other environmental samples to identify the specific types and concentrations of contaminants present.
Once the extent and severity of contamination have been determined, our team of skilled environmental engineers will develop a customized remediation plan to manage and mitigate the risks associated with contaminated land. Our remediation plans are designed to ensure regulatory compliance, minimize potential exposure risks, and protect human health and the environment.
Throughout the site contamination investigation process, our team works closely with our clients to provide regular updates and ensure that our solutions are tailored to meet their specific needs. We utilize the latest technologies and tools to provide accurate and reliable data, and we prioritize safety, sustainability, and regulatory compliance in everything we do.
