The solution

Site Closure
Requirements of international industry are constantly changing. Terms like restructuring, outsourcing, concentration and rightsizing indicate that companies adapt their production processes to changing market circumstances.

Old facilities maybe downsized or even shut  down, because they can no longer be run economically. This often leads to the requirement for remediation of contaminates sites. Through GRiP® Remediation Program ARCADIS offers the ideal way to eliminate this liability in an efficient, cost-guaranteed manner.

Mergers and Acquisitions
In mergers or acquisitions the liabilities  regarding contamination can be a tough issue in concluding a deal. Who will take on this liability: the buyer or the seller? What will it cost?

GRiP® Remediation Program is the answer to these questions. Because ARCADIS takes over the financial liability by guaranteeing clean-up to negotiated regulatory end points, this uncertainty can be eliminated from negotiating the deal.

Redevelopment
Sometimes closed facilities are located in urban or developing areas. Redevelopment of these contaminated properties can substantially raise property values. Often, use of remediated land can be upgraded for use as commercial or residential properties with corresponding increase in land values.

Site remediation can be a serious obstacle because of either potentially high cost or the uncertainty of how much site remediation could ultimately affect the overall project. Developers often hesitate to invest in such projects. Another variable, time, can affect the viability of a redevelopment project. Traditional remediation technology often requires many years to
accomplish.

With GRiP® Remediation Program ARCADIS offers a solution for both problems. We fully eliminate the cost-related uncertainty, so it becomes clear whether site redevelopment is economically feasible and, by
applying our innovative in-situ techniques ARCADIS can reduce the time required for remediation to periods that are well within
redevelopment timeframes.
