Dillon’s team of professionals include engineers, scientists, technologists, risk assessment specialists, and regulatory experts. We support public and private sector clients in addressing environmental stewardship, governance and societal needs. We work with our clients to address their contaminant liabilities and develop technical solutions which are protective of human health and the environment.  We specialize in not only soil, sediment and water impacts, but also in how contaminants can create indoor air quality concerns.

We have a long history of effective collaboration with regulators across Canada at both federal and provincial levels, and understand what it takes to successfully govern your environmental affairs when it comes to contaminated sites management. These positive and long-standing relationships are especially important when our clients are required to report to shareholders and stakeholders on their liability obligations.

We understand the pressures industry, government and regulators face when community concerns are raised and need to be addressed when managing contaminated sites.  The key is to strike the right balance amongst all parties such that human health and the environment can be protected through the implementation of tailored and practical solutions.
