SOIL MANAGEMENT
Soil resources are critical to life
on our planet. Yet, they are often overlooked in the management of our
environment and quality of life. SES understands the role that
soils play in plant growth, water resources, stormwater management, water
quality, waste management, and, ultimately, the cost of facilities
management. Our soil scientists are
experienced in classification, evaluation and management of soils in nearly
all aspects of environmental and land management.
When restoring disturbed lands, the
structure, biological and chemical balances of soil are not well understood
and therefore often neglected. Water
infiltration and storage in the soil is essential for successful
restoration of your site. With
proper management, revegetation has a greater chance of survival and
stronger growth. This means that
your land management will require less cost, water resources management
will be better, and less site maintenance and long-term care is
required. Well-structured soil on a
restored site also means less runoff, less erosion and better water
quality. Proper soil management
results in greater compliance with water quality discharge regulations,
which ultimately affects water quality and environmental protection.
With advanced degrees in soil
science and associated professional certification and registrations, our
soils experts have experience that includes the following:
·
Soil quality evaluation
·
Soil chemical analyses
·
Erosion control/mitigation
measures
·
Minesoil reclamation
·
Restoration of disturbed
sites
·
Comprehensive nutrient
management planning
·
Soils and environmental
assessment
·
Waste site characterization
and remediation
SES can show you how the soils at your site can be managed to maximize
site restoration and maintenance controls.
Effective soil management begins during the planning phase of your
construction and/or restoration projects.
However, it’s never too late to improve your existing
conditions. We can assist you in the
restoration of drastically disturbed lands (including surface mining),
remediation of contaminated sites, or to minimize the long-term maintenance
costs of your property.
