Environment

Fondasol Environnement works closely with you throughout your planning and development projects, from the preliminary pollution check through to the management plan and the implementation of the measures it contains. Our teams work to guarantee you optimised performance of not only the technical, but also the environmental, legal and economic aspects of your projects and their implementation in compliance with all the applicable regulations.

All diagnostic studies of potentially polluted sites include:

• reconstitution of the site's environmental liability via a historic and documentary study;
• dimensioning of a programme of investigations, then the conducting of investigations in the soils, groundwater and soil gases, to identify the different possible impacts – investigations done in collaboration with Fondasol's 100 drilling and data acquisition teams;
• constitution of a case management plan and a works management plan: our remediation solutions are pragmatic, comprehensive and carefully thought out in consultation with the departments involved. They take account of all the relevant technical, sanitary, regulatory and economic factors.

Our teams then assist the project owner throughout the works phase. Our intervention covers everything from the preparation of the bidding documents (DCE) to support with the selection of the contractors (ACT) to tracking and supervision of the works (DET/AOR), in order to ensure they meet the specifications.
