Location

Cambridge, Ontario

Project overview

A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was completed at a commercial plaza located at the intersection of Pinebush Road and Franklin Boulevard in Cambridge, Ontario. The property includes active commercial operations, notably a gas station and a dry-cleaning facility, both of which are recognized as potential sources of subsurface contamination.

The assessment was completed for due diligence purposes to evaluate potential environmental impacts associated with historical and current site uses. The complex site conditions due to the presence of an active and busy commercial plaza required careful coordination to minimize disruption to ongoing operations.

MTE's Involvement

MTE provided environmental drilling services to support the Phase II ESA. The scope of work included the advancement of boreholes and installation of groundwater monitoring wells to assess subsurface soil and groundwater conditions.
The investigation required deep drilling, with boreholes extending to approximately 80 feet below ground surface. These deeper depths were necessary to reach the groundwater table in this area of Cambridge.

Fieldwork was completed under challenging conditions, including working within a high-traffic commercial plaza while maintaining safe access for businesses, vehicles, and pedestrians. Additional logistical considerations included coordinating drilling activities around active infrastructure associated with the gas station and plaza tenants.

MTE successfully executed the field program while maintaining public health and safety and minimizing disruption to site operations. The analytical data supported a understanding of subsurface conditions for due diligence purposes.
