" Environmental Characterization or Phase 2 is a fundamental process for the evaluation of contaminated sites, and not only serves to make informed decisions about their impact and behavior, but is also essential for the development of a specific Environmental Remediation Plan."

Sampling, Analysis, Interpretation and Modeling of Results, Authorized Remediation Plan
“Determine the extent and depth of contamination, know the associated costs and clear up uncertainties, providing the solid foundation your projects need.”
Development of site-specific sampling plans
At GERMEN, we carry out each soil or aquifer sampling process following the Mexican Official Standards and applicable international standards.
NOM-138 SEMARNAT/SSA1-2012 , "which establishes the Maximum Permissible Limits of Hydrocarbons in soils and guidelines for sampling in characterization.
NOM-147-SEMARNAT/SSA1-2004, "which establishes criteria for the characterization and determination
of remediation concentrations of soils contaminated by arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, mercury, nickel, silver, lead, selenium, thallium, vanadium and their inorganic compounds; as well as the remediation criteria.
"Soil, Water and Waste Analysis"
The laboratories we collaborate with are duly accredited by the Mexican Accreditation Entity (EMA) and approved by the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (PROFEPA), guaranteeing that each analysis is
carried out according to the highest standards of quality and reliability.

2D and 3D modeling
Experts in Analysis and Interpretation of Results, as well as in the generation of Contamination Models (isoconcentration plans with topographic, stratigraphic and soil mechanics integration).
Graphical representation of environmental damage is crucial for making informed decisions about the management of contaminated sites and ensuring the safety and well-being of surrounding communities.
By gaining a clear understanding of the dynamics of contaminants present in soil and groundwater, it is possible to efficiently and effectively select the appropriate technique to restore the site to a safe and environmentally sustainable state, thereby protecting our natural environment for future generations.
Remediation Plans Approved by SEMARNAT
We develop customized remediation strategies that comply with SEMARNAT requirements, ensuring that all projects not only comply with the law but also promote the recovery and protection of the environment.
Expected Results
Characterization is crucial for proactive site management, risk mitigation and long-term planning, ensuring that all aspects of the project are adequately covered and authorized by SEMARNAT.
