Remediation and Restoration

Mitigating environmental and social issues in contaminated sites is a requirement after accidental spills or after project implementation during the restoration phase. Our experienced technical staff provide important cleanup and assessment services to help remove pollutant sources and create sites suitable for development.

Site-remediation is the process of removing polluted or contaminated soil, sediment, surface water, or groundwater, to reduce the impact/ risk on people or the environment.

Whether it involves long-term monitoring, active remediation or working towards closure, the cleanup and management of contaminated sites is complex and costly. Even organizations with well-established remediation management systems and processes frequently experience increased costs due to unanticipated issues. This can be challenging for a number of reasons including changing or unclear regulations, technically complex chemicals and dynamic ground water conditions.

To safeguard compliance and asset value, we enable organizations take a proactive approach to contaminated sites that enable them to safely eliminate, reduce or transfer associated liabilities while also communicating progress with relevant stakeholders.

Our approach is to consider site-specific conditions, legal requirements, stakeholder concerns, local and international best practices and the best possible outcome for each site.

Our comprehensive site restoration and reuse solutions maximize in-situ technologies and integrate key remedial design elements with future site redevelopment plans. To ensure environmental conservation, we use scientific, proven and defensible methods to guide our strategies for risk reduction.

By working with us, organizations can assess and address potential liabilities, satisfy regulatory obligations, optimize capital an operating expenditure to protect their bottom line.

    Lender Compliance Due Diligence and Gap Analysis Technical Assistance

    Service

    Lender Compliance Due Diligence and Gap Analysis Technical Assistance

    Financing from International Finance Institutions are subject to strict environmental and social performance criteria being met and maintained by a project. Most private lending banks are also incorporating and adopting similar standards to those of other big international institutions.

    Project financing can saddle the financier with unexpected EHS and sustainability liabilities and also miss out on significant operational improvement opportunities, without proper due diligence. Unplanned cleanup costs, regulatory penalties, or capital improvements can dramatically undermine the value of a business transaction.

    Due diligence is an extremely important process and exercise in financial transactions as it allows both the financier to make an informed decision as to whether it should finance/ participate in the project, with greater transparency, investors, lenders, and buyers can have confidence in the valuation model and their level of exposure.

    Sellers, meanwhile, can benefit from a more competitive and accelerated sale process that maximizes their return and protects their interests by building EHS and sustainability into the terms of the transaction.

    A thorough due diligence review of the borrower ensures that the financial transaction does not involve legal risks that the financier is unaware of that could endanger his financial position.

    At Eco & Partner Consult Limited, our thorough audit and due diligence processes provide financiers with confidence and ensures that risks involved in a financial transaction are understood and that EHS requirements are met.

    We offer the following technical services:

    • Evaluation of compliance with environmental, biodiversity and social elements of performance requirements,
    • Gap analysis reports identifying areas of non-compliance with Institutional requirements.
    • Assessing significance and associated risks that any gaps pose to lenders and borrowers.
    • Environment and social monitoring.
