The ESA is required to assess the potential contamination due to present and historical usage of the site and the surrounding areas, environmental testing for soil and groundwater, delineation of the contamination and remediation of the site as per the municipal, provincial and federal government guidelines. Environmental site assessment is required during subdivision application, land development, property transfer and bank financing to reduce the liability due to environmental contamination. We provide Environmental Site Assessments, ESA Phase I, II and III services together with many different Geotechnical testing services.
