Environmental Due Diligence & Remediation 

In the last decade, Environmental Assessments and Compliance Audits 

have become essential to both the private and public sectors in 

virtually any undertaking where environmental liability may become 

an issue. Assessments are of particular importance in property transfer 

or financing, where the potential purchaser or financier does not wish 

to incur risk by owning or otherwise acquiring responsibility for an 

environmental problem. 

Environmental Assessments 

A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) determines the 

environmental condition of a site based on an examination of past and 

current practices and activities. Phase I ESAs may be carried out as a 

condition of property sale, transfer or financing or to identify actual 

and potential site contamination. CSA Standard Z768- 01 (November 

2001), Phase I Environmental Site Assessment has been incorporated 

into the Phase I procedures used by Pinchin. If required, Pinchin can 

modify the Phase I ESA to include specific client requirements or 

needs. All Phase I ESAs include detailed recommendations regarding 

findings and any necessary additional investigations. Pinchin offers 

consistent, accurate and rapid Phase I ESAs. Our national staff and 

locations allowed Pinchin to perform 175 Phase I assessments for a 

single client in less than a month. 

Phase II Environmental Site Assessments are carried out to 

characterize in greater detail the environmental condition of a site, 

usually as a result of recommendations submitted in the Phase I ESA 

report. CSA Standard Z7769-00, Phase II Environmental Site 

Assessment has been incorporated into the Phase II procedures used by 

Pinchin. Samples of surface and the sub-surface soil, surface water, 

groundwater and other material on the site are collected and analyzed 

for contaminants related to current or past site activities. Strict quality 

assurance/quality control protocols are followed to ensure the accuracy 

and precision of analytical data. The analytical data is then evaluated 

and assessed in the context of relevant environmental legislation 

regulations, guidelines or specific client requirements to determine the 

need for remediation, to assess remediation options and prepare cost 

estimates. Senior environmental personnel at Pinchin are always 

involved in the interpretation of the data. Our reports are clear and 

intelligible to a non-professional reader. 

Statement of Qualifications – Environmental Due Diligence & Remediation 



Environmental Remediation 

Remediation is normally conducted if the property is not in compliance with regulatory requirements or 

recognized standards, or when unacceptable risks are associated with the site, financial or legal liability 

exist, or simply to enhance property value. 

Pinchin has extensive technical and project management expertise related to the identification, 

assessment, design, and implementation of risk-based site management/remedial solutions for sites 

contaminated with chlorinated solvents, hydrocarbons, metals, pesticides and emerging chemicals such as 

perchlorate, NDMA and 1,4-dioxane. We have a proven track record developing and implementing costeffective 

remedial investigation programs resulting in carefully designed innovative remediation and 

management solutions in Canada, United States and worldwide. Our range of services include site 

assessment, feasibility studies, regulatory negotiations, remediation conceptual design and full 

construction design, permitting, remedial performance evaluation and optimization, and post construction 

monitoring. 

Our staff has the experience and training to address issues that may affect not only the subsurface at the 

site but also a full range of building environmental issues, particularly pre-demolition decontamination. 

Pinchin has developed project management expertise and experience originating from our work in 

hazardous materials abatement. The project management role has developed from projects where the 

client required a turnkey abatement project. Contracts now performed under either contract management 

or full project management include work in asbestos abatement, lead clean-up, underground storage tank 

removal and soil clean-up, installation of environmental pollution abatement equipment (ducts, collection 

hoods, regenerative thermal oxidizer) and building fit-up following environmental abatement. 

Our remediation services group capabilities includes a wide array of specialized services to meet our 

client’s remediation / risk management needs. 

Remediation System Evaluation and Design 

Choosing the most appropriate remediation system can save both time and money. Remediation 

evaluation should be developed based on fundamentally sound site characterization, selection of feasible 

remediation technologies and adequate remediation technology testing (bench and pilot). In most cases 

our approach to remediation system evaluation and selection consists of developing a short list of 

technologies applicable to the contaminants of concern (COCs) at the Site. An evaluation is conducted 

using a feasibility type framework comprising the following key decision criteria: 

• Short and long-term effectiveness for site COCs 

• Ability to implement the technology, with consideration of site conditions 

• Life-cycle costs 

The selection of the remediation system focuses on those technologies that can meet site management 

objectives—whether they are technical, regulatory, legal, or administrative, with the lowest life-cycle 

costs. This process is continued until a technology is identified that meets the site management objectives 

(based on priority), resulting in the selection of the lowest cost technology. Efficacy testing (bench or 

pilot) can be conducted if proof of concept is needed or if full-scale design elements are needed to 

complete full-scale system construction.

Construction Oversight and Contractor Management 

Pinchin frequently acts as the client representative in developing, tendering and providing full contract 

administration/construction oversight services on behalf of owners who do not have sufficient staff to 

provide these functions internally. In these instances, Pinchin and the contractor have independent 

contracts with the owner and Pinchin’s work is performed on a lump sum, percentage or hourly rate. 

Pinchin has had many thousands of projects dating from the early 1980's on which we have provided this 

type of Contract Management and oversight of construction and remediation implementation. 

Project Management 

Project Management utilizes the resources of Pinchin on a full-fledged turnkey basis. A single contract 

between the owner and Pinchin is normally based on a fixed cost or on a fixed cost with identified unit 

costs. Pinchin then takes full responsibility and authority to tender or negotiate contracts with various 

subcontractors. These projects have tended to fall into two categories: Large Projects (in excess of 

$500,000) where the client chooses this route as most cost effective and lacks the staff or legal coverage 

to undertake internally, and Small Projects (usually less than $100,000) where the speed of the work and 

convenience to the client rather than the total contract cost is of prime importance. In many cases this 

work encompasses work at numerous small sites. 

Performance Based Contracting 

Our clients are looking for innovative contracting methods where risks are minimized and incentives are 

provided to minimize contractor costs. Pinchin can structure our remediation services contracts with 

performance based incentives. Incentive based contracts can include lump sum, negotiable target cost or 

incentive fee, risk share or performance based contracting with insurance. 

Environmental Compliance Audits 

Environmental Compliance Audits (ECAs) investigate an organization’s level of compliance with 

environmental statues, regulations, local laws and other identified criteria. ESA compliance can also 

include occupational health and safety issues. Pinchin provides these services to a variety of private and 

public sector groups. The provision of Environmental Compliance Audit services is consistent with CSA 

Z751-94 Guidelines for Environmental Auditing: Statement of Principles and General Practices and CSA 

Z773-03, Environmental Compliance Auditing. 

Pinchin has teams of experienced environmental auditors who have undertaken audits for a wide variety 

of industrial sectors, including aerospace and automotive manufacturing, chemical, electronics, 

petroleum, plastics, steel and wood products manufacturing, as well as commercial institutional buildings 

(hospitals, office buildings, correctional facilities, etc.). 

Pinchin brings to these service areas an in-depth knowledge of chemical processes, occupational hygiene, 

contaminant chemistry and building operations. 

Environmental Risk Assessment 

Pinchin understands that clients want an experienced team, on an as-needed basis, to provide human 

health and ecological risk assessment (RA) services related to contaminated land transactions, 

redevelopment and other potential chemical exposures. To meet your needs, Pinchin provides the 

following scientific and technical risk assessment services: 



Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment in support of a Record of Site Condition under Ontario 

Regulation 153/04 

Comprehensive RAs are typically undertaken when there is a change in land use and contaminant 

concentrations exceed generic site condition standards. They must examine potential risks to human and 

ecological receptors and propose risk management measures if necessary. This RA process involves 

liaison and approval by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE). 

Due Diligence Risk Assessments 

These RAs do not follow the format or scope of work required by the MOE for approval. They may be 

conducted solely for the client’s purposes and may involve all or a portion of the site. 

Risk Assessment Process 

1. Problem Formulation and Conceptual Site Models – The first component of the RA process, 

the problem formulation, determines the following: 

i. the contaminants of concern (COCs); 

ii. potential human or ecological receptors; and, 

iii. the exposure pathways by which receptors may come into contact with COCs at the 

Site. 

The main purpose of the problem formulation stage is to distinguish between issues for which further 

quantitative analysis is warranted from those that can be eliminated from further consideration. The 

information from the problem formulation stage is summarized in a conceptual site model, which 

illustrates the pathways of the COCs from their sources, through the relevant environmental media, to the 

receptors of interest. 

1. Exposure Assessment Modeling – The second component of the risk assessment, the exposure 

assessment, involves estimating the dose of the contaminant received by the receptors for each 

relevant exposure pathway identified in the problem formulation. Site-specific data are used to 

characterize COC source concentrations (e.g. soil or groundwater concentrations), and reasonable 

assumptions are employed to describe potential receptor contact with the COCs. 

2. Toxicological/ Chemical Hazard Assessment – The toxicity (or hazard) assessment component 

of an RA identifies toxicological reference values (TRVs) for each COC. A TRV is an 

acceptable dose or the concentration of a COC that can be suitably tolerated by a receptor without 

causing adverse health effects, and is used as a benchmark for comparison with site exposure 

during risk characterization. Both the type of health effect (e.g. cancer) and the pathway by 

which a chemical comes into contact with the receptor (e.g. inhalation) are considered when 

selecting appropriate TRVs. 

3. Risk Characterization - The final stage in the RA is risk characterization. The information from 

the exposure and toxicity assessments is combined to produce numerical estimates of human and 

ecological risk. This step is conducted for all COCs, receptors, and exposure scenarios of 

concern. In order to file an RSC, the maximum concentrations of COCs at the Site are compared 

to risk-based Property Specific Standards (PSS) to ensure that no residual risks exist at the Site. 

Risk management may be required to meet the PSS, and would be described in the form of a Risk 

Management Plan (RMP). 

4. Risk Communication - It is often necessary to communicate the technical results of a risk 

assessment to members of the public with questions about the health of people, animals and 

plants at a site. This is often done by preparing a non-technical factsheet of the results and 

meeting with residents to answer their questions directly. 



Peer Reviews 

Pinchin can provide a third party peer review of risk assessments for our clients. The peer review is often 

useful to identify data gaps that may exist in the site characterization and/or compliance issues with the 

Ontario Reg. 153/04 risk assessment approach. 

Soil vapour intrusion and indoor air quality assessments 

Volatilization, diffusion, biodegradation, advection and dilution are all parameters that affect the 

movement of chemicals from soil, groundwater and soil gas into buildings. Sites contaminated with 

volatile chemicals, including chlorinated solvents and gasoline, may have buildings with indoor air 

quality impacts due to soil vapour intrusion. Pinchin can assess potential impacts indirectly through soil 

vapour modeling and directly by soil vapour and indoor air analysis. 

Underground Storage Tank Management 

Pinchin provides a comprehensive service package of Underground Storage Tank (UST) management 

which includes; 

• Compliance assessment and testing of USTs 

• Product removal and disposal 

• Tank decommissioning / removal and disposal 

• Assessment of soil contamination associated with USTs, and determination of 

remediation costs 

• Site remediation and soil disposal 

• Regulatory liaison 

Qualifications 

Pinchin Staff within the Environmental Due Diligence and Remediation service lines have previously 

completed thousands of assignments for Financial Institutions, Institutional and Private Property Owners, 

Managers, Developers and all levels of government. As noted throughout this document, Pinchin 

personnel have gained considerable corporate-wide and regional experience in both environmental and 

building science related projects for a wide variety of clients. Designated senior Pinchin professionals 

have considerable experience in dealing with both environmental issues and the evaluation of building 

envelope systems including the roof, wall, window, and building operations(i.e., mechanical/electrical), 

etc. 

At sites that have identified environmental issues, Pinchin has the expertise to evaluate remedial 

solutions, design and construct the remediation system and provide start-up and operation and 

maintenance where required. Depending on our client’s requirements, Pinchin can act as general 

contractor or can develop innovative contracting structures tailored to the projects specific needs. 


Emissions Reduction & Compliance 

Effective administration and implementation of industrial ventilation 

and air pollution abatement programs in the manufacturing and process 

industries can have a profound effect on corporate image, regulatory 

relations, employee morale and bottom line performance. 

The Emissions Reduction & Compliance Group provides engineered 

solutions to companies faced with the challenge of minimizing the 

impact of their operations on workplace and atmospheric air quality. 

In general terms, the group provides a package of services that lead 

clients through customized ventilation and emission control projects, 

from plant or process review, through to implementation. Numerous 

projects have been completed successfully for clients in sectors 

including the coatings, food, printing, consumer products, 

pharmaceutical and plastic industries. At Pinchin Environmental, our 

expertise in Industrial Ventilation and Air Emissions is coupled with 

Occupational Health and Safety, Indoor Air Quality and Environmental 

Management, yielding a solid comprehensive package. Pinchin has 

particular expertise in odour measurement and control. 

Derivation of plant specific solutions follow well-defined paths starting 

with a thorough comprehension of the site-specific needs leading to 

regulatory approval and implementation. Presented below is a 

summary of some of our typical service offerings 

Emissions Testing and Mapping 

At the foundation of a successful pollution abatement program is a 

sound database from which decisions are derived. Emissions testing 

quantifies the rate of contaminants being exhausted, and emissions 

mapping provides insight into where control or capture resources 

should be allocated. Characterizations of emissions are necessary for 

designing, specifying and selecting equipment and materials. 

Capabilities exist for testing in accordance with U.S. EPA, 

Environment Canada, Ministry of the Environment and CARB 

protocols to name a few. Typical contaminants of interest include 

odours, semi-volatile and volatile organic compounds (SVOCs and 

VOCs), particulate matter (PM), inorganic and organic compounds, 

acid gases, total hydrocarbons (THC), combustion gases, nitrogen 

oxides, sulphur dioxide, criteria air contaminants and greenhouse 

gases. 

Statement of Qualifications – Emissions Reduction & Compliance 



Environmental Compliance and Permitting 

Many companies throughout North America are moving towards independent professional representation 

for regulatory permitting, reporting and negotiations. Pinchin’s qualified environmental professionals are 

efficient and effective through knowledge of the reporting requirements and the environmental 

regulations. Off-property or critical receptor impacts can be assessed using conventional dispersion 

models, or the suite of new U.S. EPA atmospheric dispersion models that includes SCREEN3 and 

AERMOD-in conformance with Ontario Regulation 419/05. 

Air Pollution Control 

Significant capital, operating and maintenance cost savings on back-end pollution control are realized by 

minimizing emissions at the source and by reducing the volume of gas requiring treatment. Numerous 

measures have been implemented with attractive cost recoveries, including: balancing of process ovens 

and cooling tunnels to reduce emission exfiltration; reformulation of products to reduce solvents and 

potential Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs); and replacement and consolidation of exhaust fans to reduce 

gas flow and energy use. 

Many factors are considered during strategy development, such as: level of control required; composition 

and volume flow rate of the gas stream(s); regulatory requirements, budget and schedule requirements, 

etc. Our experienced environmental team works closely with the client to develop a control strategy that 

meets the needs of the company and satisfies the overall goals and objectives of the program. Pinchin 

Environmental operates independent of equipment suppliers applying the most appropriate technology at 

the best combination of price, quality, functionality and dependability. 

Odour Evaluation 

By far, the most difficult of all regulated contaminants to deal with are odours. Pleasant smells can be 

annoying after prolonged exposure, and foul smells are immediately annoying. As you can appreciate, 

engineering a solution based on unreliable data is destined for failure. As a result, Pinchin Environmental 

has constructed an odour evaluation laboratory located at our head office in Mississauga. The laboratory 

incorporates an odour-free presentation room and a triangular forced-choice, ascending concentration, 

dynamic dilution olfactometer. The laboratory has been constructed to MOE specifications and staff and 

panellists have been trained to provide compliance quality analyses satisfying ASTM E679 and CEN TC 

264 standards. Typically, data is used to assess environmental impact, regulatory compliance, and 

effectiveness of air pollution control measures, perfumed product development, low-odour products and 

food taste enhancement development. 

Industrial Ventilation 

Numerous benefits can be derived from effective ventilation systems in modern manufacturing and 

process industries. A clean indoor air environment leads to better health and well being of employees, 

and an enhanced corporate and public image. These factors often result in tangible benefits of reduced 

absenteeism and improved productivity. For industries that use or process hazardous chemicals, properly 

designed and integrated ventilation systems reduce the risk of fires, explosions and worker overexposure. 

As well, effective ventilation systems lead to more cost-efficient management of contaminant emissions 

to the atmosphere. This is particularly true of local ventilation systems that are tightly coupled to the 

sources of emissions. 



Pinchin Environmental’s Emissions Reduction & Compliance Group offers a comprehensive package of 

services that are tailored to our client’s specific needs. Fume hoods and enclosure systems are uniquely 

designed for each application, using traditional and advanced engineering practices in VOC and 

particulate capture. Attention to design ensures optimized capture effectiveness at low exhaust flow rates. 

Low cost prototypes of enclosures can be constructed for critical applications to ensure optimized 

functionality and operator buy-in. General ventilation systems are designed to promote the effectiveness 

of local ventilation systems while maintaining worker comfort and acceptable pressure balance between 

segregated environments (i.e., manufacturing, clean rooms, offices and outdoor environments). Beyond 

the design engineering services, Pinchin offers tender and contract administration as well as construction 

project management support for larger or more complex ventilation projects. 

Noise and Vibration Services 

The Environmental Air & Noise Group at Pinchin specializes in providing professional services in 

industrial and environmental noise and vibration measurement, assessment, control and design. 

Field Noise and Vibration Measurements and Assessments 

We employ state-of-the-art measurement techniques and equipment to assess noise and vibration. Field 

measurements are complemented with numerical modeling and software simulations. 

Acoustic Audits & Acoustic Assessment Reports 

We conduct acoustic assessments and audits for existing and proposed land uses, in support of 

applications under the Ontario Environmental Protection Act. Acoustical and vibration reports are 

prepared accordingly to ensure industrial facilities meet MOE NPC-205 / NPC-207 / NPC-232 and/or 

other applicable local requirements. 

Noise and Vibration Control 

The Environmental Air & Noise Group at Pinchin provides services in the identification and control of 

industrial noise and vibration sources. In addition to initial screening noise and vibration 

recommendations that can be readily and effectively implemented will be provided. 

Custom Abatement Design Services 

We offer our clients in selecting cost-effective noise and vibration isolation and control strategies. Our 

staff have extensive experience in providing cost-effective solutions to mitigate noise and vibration. 

Pinchin also provides project management to implement noise and vibration controls. 


Occupational Health & Safety 

The Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Group of Pinchin 

Environmental offers consulting services to assess and manage 

potential workplace health and safety hazards in industrial, 

construction and health care sectors. 

The OH&S Group offers an experienced team of professional 

consultants. We employ six Certified Industrial Hygienists 

(CIH)/Registered Occupational Hygienists (ROH), several Masterslevel 

hygienists, professionally-accredited safety professionals (e.g. 

CRSP), and numerous OH&S technologists. The ROH, CIH and 

CRSP designations are internationally recognized credentials in the 

field of occupational health and safety. Our qualifications assure the 

client that consultations are performed using accepted methods, data is 

accurately interpreted, and control recommendations are effective and 

feasible. Our OH&S Group and the Air Emissions Group can jointly 

design and implement site-specific exposure control measures when 

warranted. 

Health and Safety Program Development and Auditing 

The Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act requires employers to 

prepare a health and safety policy, and to develop programs to 

implement the policy. Pinchin Environmental has assisted a number of 

companies and government agencies in developing workplace-specific 

policies, programs and procedures. Typical programs include Joint 

Health and Safety Committees, Confined Space Entry, Hearing 

Conservation, and Personal Protective Equipment. The number of 

programs required by a particular workplace depends on the number of 

potential hazards/issues in the workplace. Each written program 

outlines how the employer will “manage” the particular issue (e.g. 

responsibilities of the workplace parties, training, record-keeping, 

equipment selection, periodic auditing, etc.). The OH&S Group has 

also assisted in the implementation of these programs through activities 

such as management and employee training. In addition, our 

consultants are experienced in conducting OH&S audits for the 

purposes of evaluating compliance and/or to assess the effectiveness of 

OH&S management systems. 

Occupational Hygiene Surveys 

Occupational hygiene projects involve the identification, evaluation 

and control of environmental stressors that may cause adverse health 

effects or significant discomfort in workers or citizens of the 

community. Environmental stressors include chemical, biological 

Statement of Qualifications – Occupational Health & Safety 


Statement of Qualifications – Occupational Health & Safety 

and/or physical (e.g. noise, heat) agents. Occupational hygiene surveys are conducted to evaluate 

compliance with regulated exposure limits or good practice guidelines, to evaluate health hazard 

potential, or to investigate reported health symptoms. 

Most occupational hygiene surveys begin with a qualitative risk assessment to identify and prioritize 

potential hazards in the workplace. Air and/or noise surveys often follow to assess the degree of 

exposure, compliance status, and risk. These surveys are performed in accordance with accepted 

occupational hygiene practice as set by various governmental agencies. The results of the surveys are 

evaluated against federally or provincially regulated exposure limits, and good practice guidelines. All air 

samples collected during Pinchin surveys are analyzed by laboratories accredited by the American 

Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) to ensure that clients are provided with defensible, reliable 

results. Although most occupational hygiene surveys involve the assessment of exposure to chemical 

agents or noise, the OH&S Group is also equipped to, and experienced in, conducting many other hygiene 

surveys including lighting, heat stress and microbiological contamination (e.g. endotoxin sampling). 

Based on the findings of the hygiene survey, our occupational hygienists are also available to assist the 

client in developing and implementing appropriate, cost-effective control measures. These measures may 

include engineering controls, worker training programs and personal protective equipment programs, 

among other strategies. 

Health and Safety Training 

The OH&S Group specializes in providing workplace-specific OH&S training. We offer a great number 

of courses including Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), Confined Space 

Entry, Employer/Supervisor Responsibilities and Respirator Training. Our enthusiastic instructors have 

presented hundreds of seminars and workshops to a variety of organizations. To ensure that the training 

is truly workplace-specific, many of our courses are based on OH&S programs developed by Pinchin to 

address specific client needs.

Indoor Air Quality & 

Microbial Contamination 

Pinchin provides services to investigate and evaluate indoor air quality 

(IAQ) in non-industrial workplaces such as offices, schools and 

hospitals. Poor indoor air quality can have a significant negative 

impact on the comfort and health of occupants, resulting in 

dissatisfaction with the environment, loss of productivity and poor 

morale. 

IAQ surveys include the identification, evaluation and control of 

potential indoor sources of contaminants arising from the building 

fabric, furnishings or occupant operations, a review of the 

effectiveness, operation and maintenance of the heating, ventilation, 

and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and evaluation of comfort 

parameters such as temperature, humidity and air movement. In 

specific instances, testing for biological contamination may be 

performed if field assessments or occupant concerns indicate the 

potential for mould or bacterial growth. Surveys of indoor 

environmental quality may also include an evaluation of lighting, 

noise, office ergonomics and other factors potentially affecting 

occupant comfort and health. 

Assessment of Microbial Contamination in Buildings 

The presence of microbial contamination (fungi or bacteria) in a 

building represent a health hazard to occupants of the building or to 

construction workers during renovation or demolition. Health effects 

range from respiratory distress, allergic reactions or skin irritation 

problems arising from mould growth to potentially fatal diseases, as in 

the case of Legionnaires’ disease or the diseases transferable from bat 

and pigeon excrement. Pinchin's staff investigates for microbial 

contamination and provides advice related to microbiological 

contaminants as well as specifications and project management for 

remediation. 

Mould & Indoor Air Quality Training 

Pinchin provides several mould and indoor air quality training courses, 

including an overview and awareness of issues and regulatory 

requirements, current standards and best practises, remediation 

procedures and prevention to maintaining a healthy indoor 

environment. Seminars are presented at our clients’ facilities or at our 

Mississauga training centre.

Statement of Qualifications – Indoor Air Quality & Microbial Contamination 

Services for Remediation of Contamination 

The remediation of mould or other microbial contamination in buildings requires expertise in both 

microbial contamination and the management of environmental remediation and construction projects. 

Pinchin Environmental project managers assist building owners through the remediation process by 

developing contract documents, supervising the work, conducting appropriate environmental testing, and 

documenting the successful completion of the project. 

Microbiology Laboratory: Mould Analytical Services 

The Pinchin Environmental Microbiology Laboratory offers analytical services for m mould and bacteria. 

The laboratory is accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association Environmental 

Microbiological Laboratory Accreditation Program (EMLAP) and participates in (AIHA) Environmental 

Microbiology Proficiency Analytical Testing (EMPAT) Program (Lab ID# 158835). The laboratory is 

fully equipped for the isolation, identification, and culturing of moulds commonly detected in air, fluids 

and bulk samples. The laboratory will analyse to the species level, mould of importance to air quality, 

including species level identification and quantification of moulds of significance to health. Protocols 

used at the Pinchin Environmental Microbiology Laboratory are based on those published in recognized 

journals or being used in internationally recognized laboratories. 


Hazardous Building Materials 

Since 1981, Pinchin Environmental has addressed the concerns and 

problems posed by the presence of asbestos-containing materials in 

buildings. Asbestos-containing materials can have a serious impact on 

a building’s value, cost of planned construction or demolition, or even 

on the ability of an owner to lease space within building. Starting with 

Dr. D.J. Pinchin as the author of the study "Asbestos in Buildings" for 

the Ontario Royal Commission on Asbestos (1983), Pinchin 

Environmental has developed an unmatched expertise and reputation 

in the area of Asbestos Control. Our services related to asbestos can be 

divided into the following areas. 

Asbestos Assessments 

The identification of asbestos, both friable and non-friable, is 

mandatory under most provincial regulations for day to day 

management and prior to construction or demolition. Pinchin performs 

assessments to prepare specifications prior to construction or 

demolition, prior to property transfer for valuation, and for regulatory 

compliance. The Pinchin Hazardous Materials Inventory System 

allows rapid data retrieval and updating by the client's own personnel 

and features a customized hazard evaluation matrix for each client. 

This system ensures consistent data collection and hazard evaluation 

from all our offices across Canada. 

Microbiological Contamination of Buildings 

The presence of microbial contamination (fungi or bacteria) in a 

building can present a health hazard to occupants of the building or to 

construction workers during renovation or demolition. The potential 

health effects range from respiratory distress, allergic reactions or skin 

irritation problems to potentially fatal diseases, as in the case of 

Legionnaires’ disease. Pinchin staff investigate and provide advice 

related to microbiological contaminants as well as specifications and 

project management for remediation. Our Indoor Air Quality 

consultants draw on building science expertise for effective solutions 

to these problems. 

Hazardous Materials Assessments 

Pinchin assists building owners in the mandatory identification of 

hazardous materials. The current list of Designated Substances 

regulated by the Ontario Ministry of Labour consists of eleven 

substances including asbestos, lead, mercury and silica. Under 

Ontario’s regulations, the owner must provide the contractor with 

information on the presence of these materials on a prospective 

Statement of Qualifications – Hazardous Materials 



construction site. Other jurisdictions have similar regulations, covering somewhat different agents. 

Pinchin provides complete pre-construction hazardous materials assessments including asbestos, 

Designated Substances, mould and microbiological contamination, polychlorinated biphenyl’s (PCBs), 

etc. Pinchin’s ability to perform in-house or field analysis for asbestos and lead (the two substances of 

most concern) allows rapid reporting of results 

Asbestos and Hazardous Materials Abatement Project Design 

Pinchin uses the combined expertise of engineers, project managers and occupational hygienists to 

produce specifications for all necessary aspects of asbestos and hazardous materials abatement. Most 

often these specifications are developed to be included in contract documents issued by Architects or 

Engineers. Pinchin has prepared numerous master specifications for governments (federal, provincial and 

municipal levels) and the private sector, for use in-house by their designers. 

Inspection and Air Monitoring Services 

Inspection during abatement of asbestos and hazardous materials is vital to ensure occupant safety and to 

ensure compliance with specifications and regulations. In Ontario air monitoring is now required at 

completion of Type 3 work, and a visual inspection by a competent person is a daily mandatory 

requirement. On-site inspection of the enclosure, decontamination facilities, equipment, negative 

pressure, dust suppression, worker protection and clean-up adds significantly to the quality and safety of 

the work, and ensures unbiased regulatory compliance. All Pinchin inspectors possess both technical 

training and field experience prior to performing independent project inspection. 

All Pinchin Environmental inspection personnel participate in the quality control program of the Institute 

de Reserche en Santé et Securité de Traveailleurs (IRSST) which ensures quality analysis of air 

monitoring samples. We can analyze air samples at our offices or immediately using portable on-site 

laboratories. This level of quality control, efficiency and training, is virtually unknown in Canada. It 

provides a level of qualification and legal certification that is of great value in the management of 

hazardous materials. 

Asbestos Management Programs 

Asbestos Management Programs (AMPs) are a requirement for asbestos control under most provincial 

regulations. Pinchin has prepared these programs for many clients to meet their responsibilities in all 

provinces. The experience of Pinchin in all phases of asbestos control ensures that our AMPs can be a 

useful tool for building managers and property owners, as opposed to an unused regulatory requirement. 

Pinchin has prepared numerous AMPs for national portfolio clients customized to comply with multiple 

provincial and federal standards. 

Analysis of Asbestos Suspect Materials 

Analysis of suspect materials for asbestos is provided in our bulk laboratories in Mississauga and Ottawa. 

The Pinchin Environmental Laboratories are among the very few Canadian laboratories accredited under 

the U.S. National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) (meeting ISO 17025 

requirements). Accreditation to ISO standards provide an assurance of accurate and legally defensible 

analysis for our own clients and for other consultants and building owners who submit samples directly to 

our laboratory. 



HMIS (Hazardous Materials Inventory System) 

In response to the need to document the location, condition and type of hazardous materials used in the 

structure and fabric of existing buildings, Pinchin Environmental developed the Hazardous Materials 

Inventory System (HMIS). The system is comprised of two parts: data collection by experienced 

surveyors; and data storage and manipulation via the HMIS web based software. 

The Pinchin HMIS allows for the collection and tracking of information across large buildings and 

portfolios. This program can assist the property owner or manager in the safe handling and control of the 

hazardous materials, as required by most provincial regulations. 

HMIS Online provides the ability for a large, geographically dispersed group of users to view, query and 

sort information in a manner that cannot be matched by ordinary database or spreadsheet software 

packages. In addition, HMIS generates priority lists that can be modified to suit local regulations and 

client needs or preferences. Quantities collected by the surveyor allow for the development of 

remediation budgets for a single component or all components across buildings or groups of buildings. 

The online feature allows the user to simply click on any area of a building plan and view a list of the 

hazardous materials in that area. Pinchin’s HMIS is designed to provide the client the opportunity to take 

control of the reassessment requirements for hazardous materials and designated substances used in the 

construction of their buildings. 

Building owners and managers, safety managers, engineers and architects are responsible for navigating 

through an increasingly complex set of environmental concerns. The strong combination of construction, 

occupational hygiene and environmental expertise at Pinchin is ideally prepared to assist owners with 

these issues. 

Lead/Silica Identification and Control 

Often commercial paints and coatings and can present a health problem during or after renovation. The 

presence of lead and silica in mortar has also been shown to pose a hazard to masons in removing the 

mortar in preparation in pointing, or those sand blasting brick, structural steel or other materials. Pinchin 

surveys for lead in paint using X-ray fluorescence analyzers, giving immediate results. Pinchin provides 

training in lead paint hazard and control, available either as 3-hour awareness sessions, or comprehensive 

3-day abatement training sessions. Pinchin also prepares specifications and health and safety plans for 

lead abatement projects and determines handling and disposal requirements. 

Training Courses 

Pinchin is well known for our training services provided to contractors, building owners, government 

officials, consultants and building maintenance staff. These range from short awareness sessions or 

maintenance training on our clients’ premises to 3-day open training courses. Over three hundred 2 or 3day 

courses have been presented by Pinchin in either English or French over the last 25 years. Asbestos 

maintenance training is routinely presented from each of our offices. Pinchin provides training in lead 

paint hazard and control, mould and microbiology, WHMIS, Fall Arrest, available either as awareness 

sessions, or comprehensive 3-day abatement training sessions. 


Environmental Laboratory Services 

Pinchin Environmental has developed selected analytical services to 

support the fields of environmental management and occupational 

safety and health. These capabilities are available to building owners, 

consultants, engineers and laboratories on a confidential fee-forservice 

basis. 

All analytical services can be provided in the field, if rapid turnaround 

of results is required. 

Asbestos Bulk Analysis 

The analysis of bulk materials for asbestos content is provided in the 

Mississauga main laboratory, Canada’s largest asbestos analytical 

facility. Ministry of Labour and US EPA recommended procedures are 

followed. 

The asbestos bulk laboratory is accredited by the US National 

Voluntary Accreditation Program (NVLAP). In the absence of 

Canadian certification, this most rigorous quality control program 

ensures reliable results. 

Point-counting services are available for more precise results at low 

concentrations.

(EMPAT) Program (Lab ID# 158835). 

Odour Analysis and Characterization 

An olfactometer is a laboratory instrument that facilitates the determination of odour detection and 

recognition thresholds. It accurately dilutes and presents odorous samples to panellists for evaluation. 

Typically, olfactometer data is used to assess environmental impact, regulatory compliance, the 

effectiveness of air pollution control measures, and assist in the development of perfumed products and 

food taste enhancements. 

Analysis of odour samples using triangular forced-choice, dynamic dilution olfactometer and panel of 8 

trained assessors. 

Facilities and procedures meet ASTM Standard E679-91, European Standard Draft prEN 13725, and 

Ontario Ministry of Environment draft standard for odour analysis. 

On-site analysis available. 

On-site Non-Destructive & Laboratory-Based Analysis of Lead in Paint, Air & Bulk Samples 

Pinchin Environmental has the capabilities and experience to assist building owners and construction 

managers in the control of lead hazards in construction and renovation. Many older paints contain high 

levels of lead. Lead control and clean up may also be required in older industrial properties where lead 

dust remains from past operations. 

Environmental and occupational health and safety regulations make owners, architects, engineers and 

construction supervisors responsible to identify and control the potential hazards from lead on a project. 

Pinchin Environmental can ensure these responsibilities are met. 

• Measurement of lead in paint with on-site non-destructive X-Ray Fluorescence 

instrumentation.
