Yes — I can help with that.

For soil and groundwater remediation cleanup planning at an industrial property, you typically want firms with experience in:

  • Phase I / Phase II ESA support
  • Remedial investigation and feasibility studies
  • Brownfield redevelopment
  • Contaminated soil excavation and disposal
  • Groundwater treatment / monitored natural attenuation
  • Vapor intrusion assessment
  • Regulatory coordination with state environmental agencies

Types of specialists to look for

  1. Environmental consulting firms

    • Best for site assessments, cleanup plans, permitting, and agency coordination.
  2. Remediation contractors

    • Best for implementing soil and groundwater cleanup systems in the field.
  3. Geotechnical/environmental engineering firms

    • Helpful if your site also needs foundation, soil stability, or subsurface engineering input.
  4. Brownfield redevelopment specialists

    • Good if the property is being repurposed or sold after cleanup.

Well-known firms that often handle this type of work

Depending on your region, you may find these companies relevant:

  • Tetra Tech
  • AECOM
  • Arcadis
  • WSP
  • Jacobs
  • Stantec
  • ERM
  • Burns & McDonnell
  • TRC Companies
  • Geosyntec Consultants

How to choose the right one

Ask whether they have:

  • Experience with your contaminant type
    (e.g., petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, PFAS, metals)
  • Industrial/commercial cleanup experience
  • Success working with your state environmental regulator
  • In-house drilling/sampling and remediation design capability
  • Ability to produce a costed cleanup action plan
  • References from similar industrial sites

Good questions to ask during selection

  • Have you done cleanup planning for sites like mine?
  • What remediation technologies would you consider for this contamination?
  • Can you help with agency approval and permits?
  • Do you provide both investigation and cleanup design, or only one?
  • Can you estimate cleanup timeline and likely cost range?
  • What are the biggest uncertainties or data gaps at my site?

If you want, I can narrow this down

If you share:

  • location (country/state/city)
  • property type and former industrial use
  • likely contaminants
  • whether you need planning only or full remediation implementation

…I can recommend more specific firms or the best type of specialist for your site.
