In china, with finite land availability and a growing population, we are committed to bringing brownfield land back into
use for the benefit of local communities and the environment. Land contamination is associated with opportunity
and risk that will have a significant impact on the financial success of a property transaction or construction
development.
The cleaning and treatment of contaminated land or soil is referred to as remediation –
which is often required to ensure land is no longer a threat to human health or the environment at large.
The identification and remediation of land contamination – as part of a commitment to sustainable land reuse –
requires specialist multi-disciplinary skills and experience. Sylvan understands that developing a robust
conceptual understanding of even the most complex of sites is critical to providing effective and proportionate
brownfield or soil remedial solutions.
Sylvan provides global clients with cost and risk advice on contaminated land asset transactions and remediation
projects. At Sylvan, we identify, assess and quantify the risk associated with contamination of soil and ground
water. Our team of environmental consultants deliver robust evaluations of contaminated land and water quality
to support our clients in managing the associated environmental liability, plan future investment and realize
asset value for landowners, developers and regulators.
We work closely with our clients and wider project teams around the world to develop remedial solutions that achieve
regulatory compliance and are proportionate but robust for the particular site and project, often providing
value-add solutions for wider Sylvan or partnership projects.
