When a major petrochemical client considered purchasing a retail service station network, they engaged Kleinfelder to perform an environmental assessment to best estimate potential environmental liability.

Comprehensive Assessments In A Compact Time Frame

Since Kleinfelder took on this assessment with very little lead time, the team needed to mobilise quickly to deliver a comprehensive soil and groundwater investigation that would not only meet contractual property transaction requirements, but do so within this limited time frame. Additionally, a series of “on the go” scope changes based on site conditions occurred during site investigations, including further contamination evaluations related to the client’s Health, Safety, Security, and the Environment (HSSE) requirements.

Internal Experience Leads To Expert Efficiency

After assembling an experienced project team, Kleinfelder provided a nimble approach to the client’s request, efficiently utilising existing supplier relationships to negotiate a timeframe that exceeded client expectations. Using a single point of contact, Kleinfelder streamlined communications to ensure project clarity in the face of several scope changes. Kleinfelder’s knowledge of the client’s HSSE system enabled the team to proactively manage changes to standard practices, quickly securing approvals for alternatives and making clear strides to project completion.

Project Results

Kleinfelder’s intimate knowledge of HSSE systems and valuable industry relationships enabled ahead-of-schedule delivery on this comprehensive investigation. By saving the client time and money, Kleinfelder enabled the client to purchase several new sites and expand their network with a full, dependable knowledge of site contamination and liability concerns.
