Moreover, collaborating with Nvira teams also means having the chance to work with experts who are accredited by the Ministère de l’Environnement, and who are able to attest reports related to the Environmental Quality Act. Therefore, in the event of legal dispute, our professionals can assist you.
Due to the synergy that operates between the different lines of business at Nvira, all of our teams work together to support our clients throughout various projects. Our spirit of collaboration is evident in many cases, whether simple or complex, and this is what makes us different at Nvira.
For example, we frequently work with our soil and materials colleagues to do environmental assessments before they do geotechnical studies. In addition, during the rehabilitation of a property that contains asbestos, we call on building sciences experts to assist us in setting up an asbestos removal protocol. On the other hand, during an environmental disaster related to a petroleum product leak, we collaborate with our site remediation colleagues who quickly secure the site so that our team can proceed with the decontamination.
Our environmental expertise
The engineers, geologists, architects, geographer, landscape architects, biologists and professionals of our team pool their various expertise in order to offer complete solutions to our customers. Whether it is for the dismantling of an oil site, an intervention during an environmental disaster, the conceptualization of their external environment or for legal appraisals, our clients from the real estate, oil, financial, industrial and insurance sectors collaborate with only one team of experts for all their projects.
The close relationships we maintain with our clients as well as our agility allow us to offer turnkey solutions that suit any type of project, regardless of the size.
