Risk Assessments

An important requirement of evaluating the environmental condition of a site is a risk assessment, which will establish whether or not physical remediation is required. Starting with the problem formulation, a risk assessment includes a toxicity assessment, an exposure assessment and a risk characterization, and the results are used to predict and evaluate the chances of any adverse effects on both people and the environment. Decisions in risk assessment are based on scientific and statistical data and involve complex uncertainties, such as extrapolating the toxicity data from studies of small mammals to lifetime human exposure. You can rely on our team of environmental scientists, health risk scientists and civil, geotechnical and chemical engineers to provide you with the information you need to make the best decision. With experience in a variety of projects, our team has performed risk assessments that have played a crucial role in the eventual redevelopment of sites.
