Computer-based predictive modelling tools are used by Coffey Environments for a variety of purposes, including improved site characterisations, developing alternatives to overly conservative risk determinations and to prevent excessively expensive clean-up costs for a site.
Predictive environmental models are computer-based mathematical formulations that represent physical, chemical and biological processes.
Coffey Environments' modellers have the specialised knowledge and experience to successfully use computer models for many assessments including groundwater flow, solute transport, atmospheric dispersion and noise propagation.
Computer modelling has shown to provide benefits in the following examples:
- synthesise site data to control assessment costs
- minimise the risk of “over-designed” remediation systems
- demonstrate regulatory compliance
- assess the impact of groundwater extraction
- evaluate seepage and groundwater infiltration
- assess noise mitigation options
- valuation of human health and environmental risks
- odour and vapour plumes.
