Site Characterization & Investigation

Understanding existing site conditions is fundamental to environmental management, engineering, remediation, and decommissioning. RSCS develops and executes site characterization and investigation programs designed to evaluate radiological, chemical, physical, and hydrogeological conditions and determine the nature and extent of known or potential environmental impacts.

Our investigations may incorporate historical site information, soil and groundwater sampling, monitoring wells, subsurface investigations, radiological surveys, analytical testing, and geospatial analysis. For sites with known or suspected contamination, RSCS evaluates investigation results in the context of site hydrogeology, infrastructure, historical operations, contaminant behavior, and potential migration pathways.

By bringing environmental, hydrogeological, radiological, engineering, and geospatial expertise together, RSCS develops a comprehensive understanding of complex site conditions and provides a technically defensible basis for remediation planning, regulatory decision-making, construction and facility modifications, decommissioning, and long-term site management.
