Ground: from research to final decision

In virtually every construction, remediation or transaction process, the soil plays a role. Is the soil suitable for housing construction? Is there asbestos in it? What are the risks associated with the purchase? Buro Antares investigates, analyzes and advises, and assists with the implementation of remediation projects.

We operate from Dordrecht and Zutphen for clients throughout the Netherlands. Our own certified field workers ensure short lines and reliable quality, from the initial drilling to the final report.
