Services

Environmental audit is a service for investors which is performed before purchasing a plot in order to estimate the risk associated with its purchase and development. Environmental audits provide essential information that can affect investor's decisions.

An environmental audit is a process of assessing potential ecological threats in a given land. An assessment may reveal significant issues such as the presence of contaminants that require remediation. Most often, such audits are performed for all major investments to ensure their informed planning and successful implementation. The tests performed as part of the audit show whether a given area is contaminated and allow to estimate remediation costs, among other benefits.

Soil and water contamination testing is carried out for construction projects to find out the impact of facilities and installations on natural environment, taking into consideration the use of anthropogenic soil for made grounds and its remediation. We perform contamination tests in accordance with the Regulations of the Minister of the Environment. We carry out comprehensive preliminary and detailed contamination analyses - we also prepare reports when environmental damage is detected.

We carry out environmental monitoring to analyse the state of soil, groundwater, soil air - both during construction works and within existing installations or landfills. We also carry out environmental monitoring during and after remediation to meet the provisions of administrative decisions.

Geological or geotechnical consultations guarantee the optimal progress of each construction project, regardless of the size of the project. These consultations make it possible to obtain cost- and schedule-optimal technical solutions, but also to prevent threats that could even lead to a construction disaster. Geotechnical consultations also help solve problems that have already arisen. The consultation service increases the efficiency of work related to the investment and optimizes the execution of the construction project, and at the same time contributes to increased safety during the investment implementation.

They provide necessary knowledge on how to carry out remediation, comply with the provisions of administrative decisions, perform appropriate contamination tests, and solve problems.

We perform all types of ground tests in accordance with the applicable regulations, including Eurocode 7. We offer drilling of exploratory boreholes up to 100 m below ground level, in technology adapted to the Client’s needs, including full-core, probing of all types, including dynamic and static probing like CPTU, SCPTU, DMT and SDMT. We also carry out laboratory tests to determine effective geotechnical parameters, perform comprehensive strength and deformation tests, including triaxial shear tests, oedometer and consolidometer tests, bender element tests (BET) and others. We provide comprehensive geophysical tests for construction purposes, analyse the state of embankments, slopes and levees. We assess the suitability of post-mining areas and detect the presence of archaeological objects.

We prepare the following reports: 

• geotechnical opinion
• documentation of soil tests
• geological and engineering documentation
• geotechnical design
• assessment of the impact of an investment on surrounding buildings, e.g. on the Metro facilities
• drainage design
• hydrogeological reports
• aquatic legal surveys
• geophysical test reports

Photogrammetric surveys are performed using modern technology based on drone flights. The technology allows for precise visualization of the current land development. Photogrammetric surveys make it much easier to perform calculations to model building information (BIM) in a manner that is accessible to Clients.

We provide training for companies in the field of ground testing and environmental site assessments. We educate investors and their employees on how to optimally carry out soil remediation, what documents from our field are necessary to obtain a building permit, as well as when and which ones can be dropped, thus making the preparation period for the start of construction shorter.
