Soil Contamination Studies
See Clearly into the Subsurface
Better computer modeling for definitive decision making
Expert Analysis
Industry leading experts for precise, insightful results
Precision Accuracy
Know exactly where problems are located, and how big they are
Cost Effective Surveys
Non-destructive testing often costs far less than physical sampling
Soil contamination can damage communities
Toxic chemicals can pollute soils as a result of human activities or by natural processes and disasters. Excess chemicals such as pesticides, ammonia, petroleum hydrocarbons, nitrate, lead, mercury, and naphthalene can directly impact the health of humans who live in the area or ingest foods grown in contaminated conditions.
Soil contamination is best treated by preventative measures, but when those fail impacted soils can be relocated or marked as unusable. In some cases they are relocated away from human inhabitants. Rhizoremediation is the use of plants and microbes to make polluted soils safe again and is emerging as a cost-effective and permanent solution.
Geophysical equipment is non-destructive, and its survey is both cost effective and low impact on the environment and active work areas. It has the proven capacity to judge both the area and depth of polluted materials, so that appropriate precautions and remedies can be applied.
