Site Assessment

Tough federal, state and local regulations can be a challenge when developing a new or existing site. Ecological and human health risks and potential resampling costs are other client concerns. We understand these concerns and work with clients to solve these and other tough challenges. WESTON has conducted thousands of routine and high-risk environmental assessment studies for commercial and government sites.

Site assessment involves gathering information on the chemical and physical nature of site contaminants; the extent of contamination and potential contaminant migration; and data for hazard assessment, risk management and remedial engineering. As information is collected, a conceptual model of the physical environment beneath the site is developed and GIS and other technologies, including modeling and surface geophysical techniques, are used to provide mapping, data storage and integration, and graphical data retrieval.
