More information about environmental site assessments and remediation
What is an environmental assessment?
An environmental assessment is the process of studying and evaluating the environmental impacts of current and future projects. We conduct feasibility studies and collect accurate data using advanced geo-technological software to accomplish this.
Planners use strategic environmental assessment and sustainability appraisal to compare different options in planning. It helps evaluate how well a plan aligns with environmental goals. This assessment is important for ensuring sustainable development. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) applies to individual projects that are likely to have significant environmental effects.
Phase one – Assessment:
The first phase of the assessment checks for contamination and decides if more investigation is needed. Investigators look at old records and past site use to see if there might be contamination at the site.
Phase two – Investigation:
If Phase one indicates probable contamination, Phase two is necessary. It involves a more in-depth physical inspection of the site.
We use technology to check for environmental dangers on the site. We do this to ensure that the site is safe for the project to proceed without having human and environmental hazards. Testing water and soil samples for pollutants with advanced geo-data collection technologies is essential.
Phase three – Remediation:
Phase three will create a plan to reduce or eliminate environmental hazards after determining the level of contamination. The plan will focus on addressing the identified dangers in the environment. The goal is to improve the overall environmental quality and safety.
With Fugro’s expertise, we can guide you to making well-informed choices with the safety of our planet in mind.
Why is an environmental site assessment important?
Project managers now have to think about environmental sustainability in their site appraisals and concept designs. Our ecosystems are at risk, so it's important to minimise damage and protect the environment for the future.
Not obeying environmental regulations can harm the environment and sustainable practices. This can lead to negative consequences for both the environment and businesses that prioritise sustainability. A site owner can face expensive environmental liability if they do not consider it. It can also affect their ability to proceed with a project legally.
With our expert guidance, you can guarantee that you will meet the environmental standards. Benefiting both your business and the future of our world.
What is environmental remediation and how can it help your business?
Environmental remediation involves cleaning up hazardous substances and treating pollution to prevent it from affecting the soil, groundwater, and sediment.
Keeping your site free of dangerous substances is important for following laws, meeting environmental regulations, and avoiding penalties for your business. This process also protects the health and safety of employees, customers, and the local community. Investing early in site characterisation will significantly reduce costs in the remediation and active construction phase of the project. Our low-invasive site characterisation methods minimise health and safety exposure during the investigation phase.
In the face of global warming, proper remediation of hazardous substances reduces the environmental impact of your business and supports your sustainability goals.

Reinventing land development with advanced sensor technologies
Before committing to developing – or redeveloping – a piece of land, it’s important to know exactly what lies beneath the surface. Modern investigation technologies accurately reveal hidden substructures. This knowledge lets developers optimise their remediation strategy.
