Site Remediation & Decommissioning

Project & Contract Management

• Storage tank removal
• Cleanup of soil and groundwater
• Site specific risk assessment
• Turnkey / Project management

A site should be remediated when its condition may result in financial or legal liability, risk to human health, if the property is not in compliance with regulatory requirements or recognized standards or simply to enhance property value.

Pinchin provides a full range of site remediation services ranging from off-site removal and disposal to on-site treatment. On-site options may include active in-situ treatment or bioremediation. Our staff has the experience and training to address issues that may affect not only the site and soil but also a full range of building environmental issues, particularly pre-demolition decontamination.

Pinchin has developed project management expertise and experience originating from our work in hazardous materials abatement. The project management role has developed from projects where the client required a turnkey abatement project. Contracts now performed under either contract management or full project management include work in asbestos abatement, lead clean-up, underground storage tank removal and soil clean-up, installation of environmental pollution abatement equipment (ducts, collection hoods, regenerative thermal oxidizer) and building fit-up following environmental abatement.

The services provided by Pinchin normally fall into two categories as described below:

Pinchin frequently acts as the client representative in developing, tendering and providing full contract administration services on behalf of owners who do not have sufficient staff to provide these functions using internal staff. In these instances, Pinchin and the contractor have independent contracts with the owner and Pinchin’s work is performed on a lump sum, percentage or hourly rate. Pinchin has had many thousands of projects dating from the early 1980's on which we have provided this type of Contract Management.

Project Management utilizes the resources of Pinchin Environmental on a full-fledged turnkey basis. A single contract between the owner and Pinchin is normally based on a fixed cost or on a fixed cost with identified unit costs. Pinchin then takes full responsibility and authority to tender or negotiate contracts with various subcontractors. These projects have tended to fall into two categories: Large Projects (in excess of $500,000) where the client chooses this route as most cost effective and lacks the staff or legal coverage to undertake internally, and Small Projects (usually less than $100,000) where the speed of the work and convenience to the client rather than the total contract cost is of prime importance. In many cases this work encompasses work at numerous small sites.
