Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
Pioneer’s Phase II site investigation group, which is comprised of engineers, geologists, chemists and environmental scientists, conducts hundreds of soil and groundwater site investigations annually.
Phase II site investigations performed during due diligence are conducted to address potential environmental concerns (or RECs) identified during the Phase I ESA process in order to facilitate real estate transactions. These projects range from a straightforward UST release assessment to complex investigations and hydrogeological studies of large industrial facilities. For each project Pioneer thoroughly evaluates the potential concerns and develops sampling plans that take into account the client’s planned use of the property, balanced with budget and timing requirements, to collect site-specific contaminant data in order to fully understand the relevant issues. Reports are prepared to explain the procedures and results of the investigation activities, and then conclusions are provided to describe the most appropriate recommendations from both a regulatory and practical standpoint.
Pioneer owns and operates a variety of environmental drilling and sampling equipment required to complete almost any type of sampling project – including surface and subsurface soil samples, soil gas samples, sediment samples, and installing monitoring wells for groundwater sampling. Whatever the project, our environmental drilling rigs, GeoProbes® and mobile percussion-driven sampling equipment can accommodate virtually any large- or small-scale project.
We strongly believe that by owning and operating our own equipment we maintain tighter control of the project, can mobilize to sites quickly, and are able to deliver a quality product in a more cost-effective and timely manner by eliminating unnecessary subcontractor costs and delays. In due diligence situations, our turnkey capabilities create a competitive advantage in the marketplace for both us and for our clients.
