CORPORATE ACQUISITIONS & DIVESTITURES

The valuation of companies and facilities must always account for the operational constraints and costs of maintaining compliance with current and future environmental requirements. Black & Veatch offers comprehensive environmental risk reviews as an integral part of our corporate due diligence services for asset acquisitions, mergers, divestitures, refinancing or closure. Applicable and impending regulatory requirements are defined, technical capability and current status of compliance is determined, and risks and costs associated with the integration of assets with current portfolio are evaluated. Ultimately, our clients are fully aware and informed of the environmental compliance issues that may substantially affect or influence future operations of the subject assets.

PHASE I & II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS

Well versed in the latest ASTM and all appropriate inquiry standards, our team of experts will determine whether any potential contamination or other environmental conditions exist that may warrant further investigation. Any conditions of concern are fully characterized and quantified in terms of risks to present and future property owners. In the event that contamination is discovered, the costs for requisite remediation solutions are estimated based on our decades of experience in remediation and knowledge of the latest cleanup technologies and standards.
