Environment and nuclear waste

FSS International offers a full range of consulting services in the field of risk assessment and remediation of contaminated sites (For further information see brochures and publications or contact us):

Soils and contaminated sites

• Helping decision makers to design remediation plans accounting for the volume of soils requiring remediation, remediation costs, and uncertainties on volumetric and financial estimates.



• Providing geostatistical assessment of the extent and volume of contaminated soils in industrial sites, classification of soils as contaminated or clean with respect to critical concentration thresholds.



• Advising regulatory agencies to draft recommendations on the use of geostatistical methods for the purpose of probabilistic assessment on contaminated sites.

Groundwater

• Advising on piezometer location strategies (monitoring of potentially contaminated groundwater)



• Assessing groundwater contamination sources using multiphase flow modeling of the migration of non-aqueous phase liquids in soils.



• Detailed risk assessments with the modeling of contaminant transport in soils or aquifers on industrial sites, landfills or for accidental hazardous spills

Air

• Providing assistance on the use of geostatistics for space-time modeling of air contamination.

Nuclear and hazardous waste management

• Providing expert advice to government or private organizations on nuclear waste management including site and aquifer characterization, flow and radionuclide transport modeling and gas migration simulation.
