Phase II & III

To confirm the risk of contamination

Environmental characterization

Phase II & III

An environmental site characterization is necessary when contamination risks are identified in Phase I. The aim of this process is to confirm or refute a suspected contamination.

 
L’analyse de l’eau et les tests de sol permettent d’identifier la meilleure méthode de réhabilitation d'un terrain contaminé.

Phase II

Preliminary environmental characterization involves collecting samples that will then be analyzed in a laboratory, testing for the presence of contaminants, their nature and concentration. Depending on your needs, we’ll test samples from the surface soil, deep soil, surface water or from the groundwater.

Phase III

Comprehensive environmental characterization is used to determine the extent of the contamination. We then rope off the impacted areas prior to carrying out further sampling. A Phase III environmental characterization is required to be able to offer the most appropriate remediation method and accurate cost estimate.

 
 
Stages of an environmental characterization Phase II and Phase III:

  • Planning the sampling campaign;
  • Soil, groundwater, surface water and sediment sampling;
  • Laboratory analysis;
  • Data interpretation;
  • Drafting reports.

Our environmental evaluations meet the requirements of the Canadian Standards Association's CSA Z769-00 standard and the Guide de caractérisation des terrains of Quebec's Ministère de l'Environnement et Lutte contre les changements climatiques. And, also comply with Section IV.2.1 of the Environment Quality Act
