Site Assessment
A successful remediation project starts with understanding the site. At BioRemedy, our site assessment process is designed to help identify operational challenges, environmental concerns, site conditions, and potential remediation pathways before work begins. Every property is different, and taking the time to evaluate the site properly allows us to develop more accurate scopes, realistic budgets, and effective long-term solutions.
Some projects only require a single site visit from a project manager to collect photos, perform a LiDAR scan, document site conditions, and evaluate accessibility, drainage, containment areas, or visible impacts. Other projects require a more in-depth review involving public records research, historical property information, environmental filing reviews, USGS and GIS mapping data, elevation modeling, sampling analysis, and regulatory documentation.
Our team combines field observations, mapping technology, public environmental data, and operational experience to build a complete picture of the site before submitting a proposal. This approach helps customers better understand existing conditions, identify potential risks early, and develop remediation strategies tailored to the project’s specific needs.
Our Site Assessment Process
Before submitting a proposal, BioRemedy performs a structured site assessment to better understand the project conditions, potential risks, and available remediation options.
1. Initial Project Review
We begin by reviewing the customer’s concerns, site history, known contamination issues, operational challenges, and project goals.
2. Public Data Collection
Our team gathers available public information such as property records, historical imagery, elevation data, floodplain information, public LiDAR data, nearby environmental records, and any existing sampling or regulatory data that may help define the site conditions.
3. On-Site Assessment
BioRemedy visits the site to document current conditions, access points, affected areas, drainage patterns, utilities, waste areas, and operational constraints.
4. LiDAR Site Scan
When applicable, we perform a LiDAR scan of the site to capture elevation, surface features, containment areas, slopes, drainage paths, and site layout details.
5. Photo & Field Documentation
We collect site photos, notes, measurements, and observations to document visible contamination, wastewater concerns, pond or lagoon conditions, staining, erosion, discharge points, or other areas of concern.
6. Sampling Review or Coordination
If sampling data already exists, we review it as part of the assessment. If additional sampling is needed, we can help coordinate soil, water, sludge, or waste characterization testing.
7. Site Summary Slide Deck
After the assessment, BioRemedy prepares a visual slide deck summarizing site conditions, photos, LiDAR findings, public data, known issues, and potential remediation pathways.
8. Proposal Development
Once the assessment is complete, we develop a proposal based on site-specific conditions, project goals, access requirements, treatment options, waste handling needs, and expected scope of work.
