Environmental Survey Emergency Environmental Investigation Services

Fires or explosions at factories, chemical spills into rivers, and other unexpected incidents may raise concerns about the impact of hazardous gases and contaminants on people and the surrounding environment after the initial emergency response. We provide rapid on-site investigation, environmental measurement, and immediate laboratory analysis to quickly assess the situation.

Overview

Even when businesses actively implement environmental risk management and preventive measures, unexpected accidents can still occur. Industrial facilities and buildings often contain petroleum-based materials and use a wide variety of chemical substances. If a fire or explosion occurs, smoke and hazardous gases may be released, potentially affecting people and the surrounding environment. Before business operations can safely resume, it may also be necessary to confirm that odors from burning materials or hazardous substances are no longer present. We help you quickly understand the situation through prompt on-site investigations, environmental measurements, and immediate laboratory analysis.

We also respond to other unforeseen incidents, such as chemical leaks caused by damaged storage tanks or heavy rainfall that results in chemicals flowing into public waterways, including rivers. In addition, we provide investigation and analysis services for concerns such as the release of asbestos fibers from disaster waste storage sites or collapsed buildings following natural disasters.
