• Environmental characterization, or Phase 2, is essential for assessing contaminated sites. This process not only enables informed decisions on the impact and behavior of contaminants but is also crucial for developing a tailored environmental remediation plan.

  • The process includes sampling, analysis, interpretation, and modeling of results, along with the creation of an authorized remediation plan.

    Key Benefits:

    Determines the extent and depth of contamination, helps calculate associated costs, and reduces uncertainties, providing the solid foundation your projects need to move forward confidently.

Development of Site-Specific Sampling Plans

At GERMEN, we conduct each soil or aquifer sampling process in compliance with applicable Mexican Official Standards and international standards.

  • NOM-138-SEMARNAT/SSA1-2012: Establishes Maximum Permissible Limits for Hydrocarbons in soils and provides sampling guidelines for site characterization.

NOM-147-SEMARNAT/SSA1-2004: Defines criteria for characterizing and determining remediation concentrations for soils contaminated with arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, mercury, nickel, silver, lead, selenium, thallium, vanadium, and their inorganic compounds, as well as remediation standards.

Graphical Representation of Environmental Damage is essential for making informed decisions on contaminated site management and ensuring the safety and well-being of surrounding communities.

By gaining a clear understanding of contaminant dynamics in soil and groundwater, we can efficiently and effectively select the most suitable techniques to restore the site to a safe, environmentally sustainable state, protecting our natural environment for future generations.

SEMARNAT-Approved Remediation Plans

We develop customized remediation strategies that meet SEMARNAT/PROFEPA requirements, ensuring all projects not only comply with regulations but also promote environmental recovery and protection.
