Contaminated Land Services
Comprehensive. Expert. Integrated
At Eliot Sinclair, we offer comprehensive contaminated land services to assist clients with land assessments and remediation. Our expertise covers the full sequence of steps needed to address contaminated soils and groundwater, including investigations, remediation, management and validation. Our environmental scientists assess sites from high-level due diligence pre-purchase or pre-development assessments, through to detailed site investigations. Our investigations identify potential contamination risks in the soil, water or air. As part of our detailed site investigations, we provide asbestos and lead-based paint surveys to prevent soil contamination following demolition.
Through close collaboration with our other services, including water engineering, civil engineering and landscape architecture, our experts provide detailed action plans and remediation strategies to effectively manage contamination issues. We provide on-site monitoring and management services to oversee and validate any remediation work necessary. Through our expertise and knowledge of every facet of land contamination we provide effective and sustainable solutions to ensure sites are fit for their intended use or activity.
