Soil and Groundwater Investigations
ENSR performs soil and groundwater investigations to determine whether contamination is present on a property, and to what extent. This typically involves installing and sampling of geoprobe points and/or groundwater observation wells; analyzing unknown residues or wastes; and leak testing, or other evaluation of underground storage tanks.
ENSR utilizes state-of-the-art technologies in conducting soil and groundwater investigations, including soil gas monitoring, ground-penetrating radar, and electromagnetic induction. These technologies are accepted by regulatory agencies, and can save property owners or other responsible parties both time and money.
ENSR also has strong risk assessment capabilities, including a range of models for complicated situations. Risk assessment has become an important and accepted analytical tool for evaluating the significance of sampling results, particularly when standards do not exist.
Our investigations help to quantify the:
- Probability of a site problem
- Extent of the problem
- Potential financial liability
- Potential human health effects
- Technical options for corrective action
- Cost of corrective action
