Sometimes, soil contamination is so extensive that a site cannot be decontaminated with excavation. In these cases, an in situ treatment is necessary, which involves decontaminating soil and groundwater without first excavating the material to be treated. Our Environment teams can support you with all your in situ decontamination needs.

Visual inspections have their limits, and a thorough air quality and industrial hygiene test can verify whether the indoor environment complies with the standards and requirements that apply to workplaces. Being proactive can help you prevent problems that impact the building or its occupants. In addition, though the use of asbestos has declined significantly in Canada in the last few decades, it is still present in many office buildings. Materials that contain asbestos may pose a danger in the workplace, as anyone who inhales the fibres is at risk of developing serious health conditions. Our professionals can detect asbestos and guide you through the asbestos removal process.
