Expertise

Thanks to its track record in brownfield sites, usually near cities and areas of housing, we prioritise a team approach with local authorities and nearby site residents. The pollution of contaminated sites often results from previous activities, the polluter has often disappeared and sites need to be decontaminated with public funds.

We always aim to provide the most economical option of remediation, avoiding  large contributions of public funds while keeping the objective of delivering the best work result.

This approach requires a detailed knowledge of different pollution treatments on site while reducing carbon footprints in road transportation. We have worked with clients in the public and private sectors and have generated opportunities in site remediation including industrial estates converted in modern urban housing.

Many industrial sites in Europe have suffered from pollution of all kinds mainly because compliance with environmental standards remains fairly recent. These industrial sites have polluted soil and groundwater without any control while successive economic crises have led to the interruption of activities without remediation of pollution sources. As a result, extension of pollution zones around these sites, often affects the values of neighbouring land. 

We are experienced in managing negotiations between polluters, local authorities and nearby landowners in order to find the best approach to decontaminate concerned areas. 

In close partnership with local authorities combined with highly qualified experts, we are able to achieve high standards of soil remediation.  We have been working with many clients and communities in very complex pan-European projects delivering excellent client satisfaction.
