Site Investigation & Characterization

Defining the problem so the solution is clear.

Understanding Site Investigation & Characterization

When environmental conditions are suspected or confirmed, the next step is to understand what you're dealing with. Site investigations involve physical sampling—soil, groundwater, and vapor—to determine the type, extent, and concentration of contaminants. Characterization builds on that data, outlining where impacts exist and how they may affect human health, the environment, and redevelopment plans. Our team delivers this critical information in a format that supports timely, informed decisions.
