Environmental Engineering

We identify environmental risks early, from soil contamination to hazardous building materials, so they are dealt with before they turn into delays or liabilities.

Our approach

Environmental questions can stop a purchase, a permit or a demolition. We assess sites and buildings, explain what the findings mean for your project, and design practical ways to manage them in line with Ontario regulations.

What we deliver

Environmental site assessments

Phase One and Phase Two assessments: historical review, site inspection and soil and groundwater sampling where needed.

Designated substance surveys

Identification of asbestos, lead and other hazardous materials before renovation or demolition.

Excess soil management

Planning for the testing, reuse and disposal of excavated soil.

Stormwater quality

Treatment measures that protect receiving watercourses.

Indoor air quality

Investigation of mould, moisture and ventilation problems.

Environmental compliance

Support with environmental permits, approvals and regulatory requirements.

Waste management plans

Reducing, sorting and diverting construction and demolition waste.

Typical projects

  • Property purchases and refinancing
  • Redevelopment of former commercial or industrial land
  • Surveys before renovation or demolition
  • Industrial facilities
  • Excavation and earthworks
  • Buildings with moisture or air-quality concerns

How it works

  1. Scoping

    We agree on what needs to be assessed and why.

  2. Investigation

    Records review, site inspection and sampling as required.

  3. Interpretation

    Results are compared with the applicable standards and explained clearly.

  4. Management plan

    Practical recommendations for remediation, handling or monitoring.
