Site Characterization & Investigation

Clear, defensible insight into subsurface conditions to support compliance, risk management, and long-term asset integrity throughout a site's life cycle.

Site Characterization & Investigation

Overview

We complete site characterization and subsurface investigations to define soil and groundwater conditions, contaminant distribution, and potential exposure pathways. This work supports regulatory compliance, risk management, and progression toward site closure.

Our programs integrate desktop review, field investigation, and hydrogeologic interpretation to reduce uncertainty and establish a strong technical basis for remediation, monitoring, or risk-based decision-making.

Our Approach

We apply a systematic, risk-informed approach to site characterization. We begin with a detailed review of historical operations, existing environmental data, and regulatory records to understand site context and potential concerns. Field programs are then designed to be targeted and efficient, ensuring data collection is aligned with site objectives and regulatory expectations.

The Alta Tech Advantage

At Alta Tech, we combine technical expertise with hands-on execution to deliver practical, efficient solutions. Our work stays grounded in regulatory requirements, site realities, and long-term client goals.

In-House Execution

We maintain a Geoprobe drilling rig including a variety of tooling for subsurface investigation and remediation techniques, allowing for rapid mobilization, reducing third-party costs, and direct control over sampling integrity, and remediation efforts.

Regulatory Alignment

Our investigations and emergency response are structured to balance client exposure in line with provincial and federal regulatory requirements, facilitating a streamlined path to approvals, certifications and long term remedial action plans.

Technical Continuity

We specialize in auditing and integrating legacy data set, filling technical gaps to advance simple and complex site conditions towards a risk management framework accelerating regulatory closure while preserving OPEX.
