Projects

ESG draws on the collective interactions of its engineers, chemists and biologists. Many ESG projects involve evaluating sites where the environment has been disturbed. Impact and risk assessment are essential at such locations. ESG looks for practical and cost- effective solutions that minimize risk to the environment and comply with regulatory standards. All projects incorporate applied science and engineering with fundamental research.

These are some examples that indicate the range of work undertaken by ESG.

The DEW Line Cleanup Project- Development of appropriate environmental standards for - and participation in the cleanup of - 21 former DEW Line sites.

Mine Site Assessments- Northern gold mine studies: Giant and Miramar Con Mines.

Saglek Site Remediation - Site assessment and development of an approach to clean up the former radar site at Saglek, Labrador.

Food Chain Studies - Research on the impact and effects of PCB contamination from the former radar site at Saglek, Labrador.

Projects with Inuit and First Nations - Review of the Voisey's Bay Nickel Company Environmental Impact Statement and Environmental consultation on behalf of the Labrador Inuit Association, as well as a joint cleanup project with the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation and the Mushkegowuk Council.

CFMETR Torpedo Test Range - Assessment of chemical impact from torpedo testing in Georgia Strait.
