Site assessments
Heightened environmental awareness has prompted strict regulations that require property owners and purchasers to determine the environmental conditions that exist on their land. In cases where contamination is present, an owner can be held liable for the cost of cleaning up the property.
A site assessment can help property owners and prospective buyers avoid this potential economic pitfall by providing them with an accurate environmental report of existing site conditions. It can also help an owner determine the suitability of property for reuse and further development by calculating the effects of new developments. This information helps property stakeholders to make informed decisions about development, investment and compliance issues.
A thorough site assessment demands top level technical and regulatory expertise.
