Phase II ESA - Environmental Assessments

Nichols Environmental has conducted over 500 Phase II ESA’s since our inception. The senior staff have experience on over 1,250 Phase II assessments over their careers. This includes upstream oil & gas (flare pits, batteries, gas plants), downstream facilities, industrial complexes, chemical plants, metal plating operations, dry cleaning facilities, and other commercial developments.

One of our greatest strengths is our experience in moving from characterization to remediation and providing accurate costs to our clients. With our experience in remediating over 400 sites, we have accumulated an extensive geographical data base of project bids for common construction costs. From this data base we are able to accurately estimate remediation costs and time frames.

Using our civil engineering and survey experience, Nichols Environmental uses high-quality imaging hardware and software, Total Station surveys, and the latest AutoCAD and Eagle Point software to calculate the extent and magnitude of contaminant plumes. By collecting accurate site data of structures and buried facilities, Nichols Environmental is able to prepare a comprehensive remedial action plan.

Our extensive experience encompasses the assessment and characterization of: soil, surface water, groundwater, air, mold, and building materials such as asbestos. Site closure planning is conducted to achieve both the needs of the client, and compliance with provincial and federal regulations. Our Phase II investigations are completed using accepted field and laboratory methods, and accredited analytical laboratories.
