The management of contaminated areas is a sensitive process in obtaining permits for real estate and commercial developments. This process often involves the pressure of deadlines, costs, and technical uncertainty on the part of the contracting parties. Our mission is to transform the management of contaminated areas into a transparent and predictable task.
The purpose of this process is to identify and treat potential soil or groundwater contamination at the site where a real estate activity is to be developed or authorized. This process is also vital when selling real estate with a history of contaminating activities so the compliance requirements of financial institutions are met and legal certainty is reinforced.
Environmental permitting is a fundamental instrument for authorizing, implementing, operating, and even decommissioning projects. However, in practice it presents itself as an obstacle for many real estate and commercial projects.We work in synergy with the development and authorization teams in creating alternatives that facilitate and streamline this process.
W3 Ambiental covers everything from the preparation of studies and technical reports to obtaining the corresponding permits with the agencies, always attentive to the feasibility of the proposed solutions, regardless of the project’s size or complexity.
We seek to participate in projects from their conception in order to identify the best ways to expedite the permitting process, thereby avoiding unrealistic time and cost estimates.
Waste management is a common but never predictable topic. Since it is difficult to tackle, it is often regarded only as an expense. For this reason, W3 Ambiental presents a technical and objective approach to simplify this subject.
For the real estate market, we develop plans and programs for managing waste from construction sites and the decommissioning/shutdown of commercial and industrial properties. We are also qualified to develop systems for the reverse logistics of waste, seeking to add value to it and ensure its proper destination.
Environmental audits and expertise are mechanisms that measure a potential environmental risk and compliance with legal requirements. Beyond that, they can hold people accountable or exempt and even generate a competitive advantage in major negotiations.
We act in several scenarios that have in common the need to clarify/identify possible environmental damage or estimate future investments. We participate in expert assessments in situations involving real estate litigation, audits for supplier approval, and due diligence in mergers and acquisitions.
