Environmental Surveys
KTE conducts environmental surveys regarding contamination of air, soil and water.
An environmental survey is typically performed on a site contaminated by hazardous substances.
The site is first assessed and analyzed for the causes and magnitude of the contamination as well as its impact
on the environment and the health and safety issues it may present (Environmental Impact Assessment – EIA).
Later on, if required, deeper analysis and data can be provided, such as evaluation of the contamination level’s
increase, or a design for remediation, reclamation or rehabilitation.
The knowledge and experience gathered by our team over the years, combined with the entire spectrum of KTE services
(including the analytical ones) enables us to offer Environmental Surveys to different companies, businesses and organizations.
We use our expertise to gather a data basis, which is used for the EIA, including – upon request
– the main and alternative technologies for the short- and long-term remediation.
If necessary, KTE is also providing expert opinions for legal and other purposes.
