Contaminated soil and emerging contaminants (Spanish RD 9/2005, PFAS)

Soil is investigated once and paid for over many years. We investigate the site with sampling matched to the conceptual model, and separate contamination from natural background.

What's included

• Preliminary site condition report and construction of the site conceptual model.
• Exploratory and detailed investigation: boreholes, piezometers, sampling and analysis.
• Analysis of emerging contaminants, including PFAS, in soil and groundwater.
• Quantitative risk assessment for human health and for ecosystems.
• Delineation of plumes, and piezometric and quality monitoring.
• Conclusion on the site's status and remediation options with comparative costs.

When you need it

• You are a potentially contaminating activity and the site condition report is due.
• There has been a spill, a buried tank or a questionable historical activity.
• A sale or financing transaction requires the investigation.
• PFAS or emerging compounds have been detected in nearby water.

How we work

We size the campaign from the conceptual model, which avoids both under-sampling and over-sampling. Risk is calculated, not estimated: the difference shows in the cost of remediation.
