When this liquid becomes contaminated, it can lead to serious health and environmental issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-5ztvz312\">If you&#8217;re a brownfield developer in Markham, there&#8217;s a chance that the site you want to build on contains dangerous contaminants.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-6tywp314\">At Fisher Engineering, we specialize in environmental remediation services. In this article we&#8217;re taking a look at how our approach works, and how our team can keep your brownfield properties safe and clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"viewer-qaeoy316\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Initial&nbsp;Planning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-40e4p318\">Before&nbsp;suggesting different remedial options, our team will begin by performing a comprehensive site assessment of your property. This includes taking a sample of the soil and carefully analyzing it to understand what it contains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-k2ygs320\">We will use the results from your brownfield assessment to&nbsp;determine the best course of action. Then, we will create a plan that clearly outlines&nbsp;how we will address the contamination and restore your brownfield site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-faf3j322\">Once we know the different contaminants that your property contains, our multi-disciplinary team of&nbsp;environmental engineers&nbsp;will meet with you to discuss&nbsp;how we will approach your brownfield remediation. Most sites require at least one of the following solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Soil&nbsp;remediation: Occurs when toxic chemicals or substances penetrate the soil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Groundwater remediation: Occurs when industrial waste is improperly discarded, leaking contaminants into the water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-jiggf333\">At this visit, we will present a detailed timeline of our approach, so you know what to expect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"viewer-s1ihd335\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-863l9337\">During the&nbsp;remediation phase, we will execute the proposed plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-yi2yx341\">Our services are cost-effective and tailored to your unique needs. Our goal is to thoroughly and effectively remove contaminants from your soil and groundwater.&nbsp;If there is a current business on-site, we will make sure to ensure our services disrupt those operations as minimally as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-6x3o6343\">Unless we run into unforeseen issues during our work, we will ensure that our team will meet the proposed schedule. Even if we do encounter a setback, we will work to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. We understand that&nbsp;brownfield projects&nbsp;are time sensitive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"viewer-1oik1347\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Confirmation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-1tk6w349\">Once remediation is completed, we will provide a confirmatory report that the remediation process was a success. At this time, we will&nbsp;verify that our remedial methods were effective. We will also perform tests to ensure that any remaining contamination&nbsp;is at an acceptable level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-z4bw9353\">Our team will test the soil and\/or groundwater to make sure that it complies with all&nbsp;requisite standards. We know that successful remediation is crucial to not only the health and safety of your brownfield but also the&nbsp;environment and public health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"viewer-c2dup357\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expert Remediation for Brownfield Properties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-zpzsf359\">Redeveloping brownfields can breathe new life into a space. It also improves the environment and brings new opportunities to a region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-2fc7z361\">Before you begin your building project in Markham, it&#8217;s important to make sure the site is as clean and contaminant-free as possible. That&#8217;s where we come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-zx2dd365\">At Fisher Engineering, we&nbsp;offer expert soil and groundwater remediation services. In addition to urban&nbsp;brownfield properties, we also service farmland and conservation areas, as well as residential and commercial properties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-h3d5h371\">To learn more about our approach, check out some of our&nbsp;past projects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Studies show that up to one-third of all Canadians get their drinking water from soil and groundwater.
