Environmental Liability Review | RPS London

PROJECT

CLIENT	RPS Health Safety and Environment (London)
LOCATION	Retail center: Les champs fleuris, Matran (FR) Les grosses terres, Etoy (FR-CH)
DURATION	2006

CSD ENGINEERS SA was commissioned by RPS Health Safety and Environment (London) to undertake an environmental review for EC HARRIS (Paris) of the Retail Centre Champs Fleuris at Matran (near Fribourg) in Switzerland.

The principal aim of the review was to determine whether there is potential for contamination to be present which would significantly constrain the use of the site, or give rise to the risk of significant environmental liability.

The report may also be relied on by any subsidiary of EC HARRIS and those institutions funding their purchase of the property.

HIGHLIGHTS

The environmental situation of the site was determined very rapidly.
Performance in terms of time and efficiency during an international transaction for the entire holding group (several companies in Europe).
