Land Capability Assessments

Land Capability Assessments

Man-made disturbances can affect the ability of soils to provide the physical, chemical and biological processes required to sustain natural and crop vegetation. Thurber’s environmental scientists provide a number of services aimed at establishing the ability of...
Remediation and Reclamation

Remediation and Reclamation

If site contamination is established during a phased environmental site assessment, remediation or reclamation are normally required to prevent further environmental impact. Remediation involves containment, removal, or stabilization of contaminants from soil,...
Environmental Site Assessments

Environmental Site Assessments

An Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is the primary tool for evaluation of environmental liabilities associated with a property. It is usually structured in phases ranging from a Phase I (historical research and site reconnaissance) to a Phase II (sampling, analyses...
Advanced Geotechnical Laboratory Testing

Advanced Geotechnical Laboratory Testing

A laboratory testing program is an integral part of all significant geotechnical investigations. While standard index tests such as Atterberg limits and grain size distributions are performed for routine projects, the design of major structures requires more advanced...
Rock Engineering

Rock Engineering

The design of structures which are built on bedrock requires an in-depth knowledge of geology and rock mechanics. Rock mass classification systems along with numerical modelling techniques are often used for design. Thurber has experience with bedrock mapping, core...
