Since 1994, ARCADIS has offered our clients a practical business solution for the efficient and cost-effective closure of contaminated sites.  The GRiP® contract combines comprehensive risk management with technical expertise unparalleled in the environmental industry.  The result is not only cost savings to our mining clients, but also freedom from future remediation responsibilities and regulatory uncertainty.

A GRiP® contract is relatively simple: for a fixed price, ARCADIS commits to perform any remediation or reclamation necessary to achieve regulatory closure for the site, including known and unknown contamination.  Site clean-up becomes our responsibility and obligation.  This gives you an improved financial profile by removing the unknown liabilities associated with a closed site.

ARCADIS' GRiP® system is an extremely powerful tool that can be used to manage, and even eliminate, environmental liabilities throughout all aspects of your business.  Freed from remediation responsibilities and regulatory issues, you can concentrate on the day-to-day needs of your business.

Our program provides contractual and insurance protection along with regulatory, performance, and schedule completion guarantees.  You benefit from:

• Appreciable cost savings over traditional closure programs
• Protection of clean-up funds, including structured settlements
• A guaranteed, fixed price contract (no change orders)
• Timely site closure 
• Continuous regulatory compliance
• Liability relief from third party claims
• A balance between the needs of the stakeholders and appropriate cleanup investments
