Carry out environmental sampling

Apave teams support you throughout your projects, protecting your employees and the environment by carrying out:

• surveys
• sampling
• analyses
• tests
• measurements
• support to operate an ICPE (installation classified for protection of the environment) requiring declaration, registration or authorisation
• technical support to develop and roll-out your low-carbon strategy

Your challenge is to know and control the impact of your activity on your environment and to protect your employees against chemical risks, noise, electromagnetic fields and lighting.

Apave has developed a wide range of support services to respond to your challenges and inform your strategic decision-making, while ensuring your compliance

• Exterior air quality, measurements of atmospheric emissions and fall-out in the environment
• Connected sensors to measure air quality in real time and issue alerts in the event of deviations
• Groundwater and surface water samples, analyses and diagnostics to minimise pollution risks
• Noise (environment, projected acoustics, building) and vibration measurements to protect surrounding populations from noise pollution
• Risk assessment of odours and lighting
• IAQ (interior air quality) aeration and ventilation check
• Prevention of Legionella risk 
• Inspection and maintenance of backflow preventers
• Ventilation and sanitation inspections 
• Chemical risk exposure checks (HCA, CMR)
• Radon exposure checks for affected geographical areas
• Control of airborne contamination (service buildings, public buildings, hospital environment) 
• Examination of polluted sites and soils 
• Support for soil depollution in urban redevelopment and brownfield conversion projects 
• Support in developing and extending the performance of your low-carbon strategy
• Draw up an inventory of your GHG emissions (within the regulatory framework, a Bilan Carbone® (Carbon Balance), ISO or bespoke assessment, excluding regulations)
• Establish your low-carbon strategy and/or target carbon neutrality
• Assess your low carbon strategy (ACT = Accessing low Carbon Transition)
• Have your GHG emissions declarations (CO2 quotas) checked (against Directive 2003/87/EC and associated regulations)
• Have your application for carbon offsetting aid checked (according to the Carbon Tax Law)

Apave experts will support you, particularly to:

• Train you or your teams to master the technical and regulatory basics of the environment in an ICPE company

• Train you or your teams in regulations regarding water discharges and atmospheric emissions
• Ensure preparation of the ICPE declaration file that must be sent to the regional Prefect 
• Ensure preparation of the ICPE authorisation file
• Soil pollution: conduct a study, provide technical and inspection support (Apave is an LNE-certified design office, fields A and D, for its design services), support and inspection relating to polluted sites and soils, in accordance with the service certification guidelines for contractors in the field of polluted sites and soils (more information on www.lne.fr).
• Carry out atmospheric emissions and water discharge checks
• Carry out the periodic inspection of ICPEs
• Noise (environment, projected acoustics, building) and vibration measurements to protect surrounding populations from noise pollution
