Contaminated sediments
We combine technical excellence with empathy and understanding to ensure your success.
When managing contaminated sediments, you are striving for outcomes that meet or exceed environmental goals, are sustainable, and can be implemented right the first time (within scope, schedule, and budget). In addition, maintaining positive relationships and brand perception with your key stakeholders, including property owners, shareholders, customers, and regulatory agencies is essential. However, with response areas that extend beyond site boundaries, high-visibility settings, compliance challenges, and the potential for civil litigation, there are countless risks that threaten these successful outcomes.
Haley & Aldrich’s sediments leaders center our approach around developing custom solutions that meet your specific needs, as well as those of your stakeholders. We know that investigating and remediating contaminated sediments requires more than off-the-shelf solutions. We build our teams of project managers, technical experts, and support staff around your needs — recognizing differences in communication styles, inclinations, and preferences. And Haley & Aldrich’s one-team approach allows us to bring the best experts from our nationwide practice to provide the right expertise and experience to your project.
For every phase on your project’s lifecycle, our contaminated sediments practitioners seek innovative solutions based on proven science and continually look for cost efficiencies. That may mean demonstrating your actual risk over predicted risk, which typically results in reduced remediation costs for our clients. Or, using chemical forensics to not only differentiate site contamination from background, but to refine conceptual site models to identify the most efficient, effective solution. And we have many more examples of our innovative problem-solving approaches to share.
