Site Assessment & Remediation Services

Navigating environmental risks and liabilities can be complex and costly. Our Site Assessment and Remediation team helps you evaluate conditions, develop smart remediation strategies, achieve full regulatory compliance, and return properties to productive use.

Our multidisciplinary teams emphasize rapid response, always keeping your objectives at the forefront. Every site assessment and remediation project we undertake is:

  • Focused and defensible: Engineered for clarity and legal soundness.
  • Compliance-driven: Adhering to all applicable environmental regulations.
  • Geared for re-use: Prioritizing solutions that support future site development.

We stand ready to support the full lifecycle of your environmental remediation needs—from initial site discovery and detailed assessment to legal support, source removal, remedial design and optimization, system development, and ongoing operation and maintenance.

Environmental Health & Safety Solutions

A robust Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) program is non-negotiable for responsible operations. Akana’s EHS team helps clients meticulously identify all applicable federal, state, local, tribal, and stakeholder requirements relevant to their unique operations. We then conduct thorough assessments to determine whether current practices meet these standards.

Where gaps exist, we excel at developing practical programs, plans, procedures, tools, and training to not only address non-compliance but also significantly improve overall EHS performance and reduce potential liabilities. Our EHS services ensure your operations are not just compliant, but truly safe and sustainable. This includes critical areas such as:

  • Compliance Auditing and Assessments
  • Regulatory Permitting and Reporting
  • Waste and Hazardous Materials Management
  • Risk Assessment & Mitigation
  • Incident Investigation
  • EHS Program Development & Implementation
  • Training
  • Decommissioning and Closure
  • Stakeholder Communication
