Contaminated Sediment Characterization

INSPIRE specializes in assessing contaminated sediments using site specific information to carefully evaluate environmental conditions. Our team specializes in using detailed scientific, proven and defensible methods to provide risk reductions to our clients.

Contaminated Sediment Site Characterization and Ecological Recovery

Our characterization of contaminated sediments provide valuable non-extractive methods to help guide the delineation of contaminated footprints for remediation. This service is a cost effective and efficient method for clients to understand site characteristics and direct extractive sampling efforts.

INSPIRE supports contaminated sediment projects by providing expertise in many scientific areas such as sediment dredging, capping, and natural recovery, and biological and ecological recovery monitoring services.
