Environmental Remediation & Regeneration

Improving our world and communities by tackling the biggest and most complex environmental contamination challenges  

Remediation and Regeneration Cover

Emerging contaminants and other hazardous substances are increasingly complex and difficult to manage, with the potential to affect soil, sediment, groundwater and air over long timeframes. 

We work with clients to turn contaminated sites into long-term assets by combining site investigation, risk assessment and environmental remediation design to support practical, defensible solutions. Our focus is on enabling safe land reuse by accelerating regeneration and delivering outcomes that stand up to changing regulatory requirements and community expectations. 

Reduced risk and greater efficiency

Identify and mitigate exposure to complex contamination early — protecting people and assets as well as ecosystems, while staying ahead of regulatory change.

Tailored site closure strategies

Resolve contamination challenges that delay redevelopment and infrastructure programs, enabling faster, more thoughtful site reuse. 

Long-term environmental and community value

Restore sites responsibly and maximize environmental benefit using science-led solutions that support sustainable land use and improve resilience for communities.

Environmental remediation across complex sites and contaminants 

Assessing site conditions to enable confident decisions, effective remediation and responsible site closure 

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) and Emerging Contaminants

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) and Emerging Contaminants

Assessing, managing and remediating PFAS and emerging contaminants in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

Your questions on complex contamination, answered 

From risk to reuse, across every site condition 

Get in touch

We manage complex contamination across soil, water, sediment and air, tailoring investigation, environmental remediation and risk management to site conditions, future use and regulatory expectations.  

We work with clients to manage and remediate a broad range of contaminants — from metals and radionuclides to organic compounds, PFAS and other emerging contaminants — with approaches grounded in site risk, regulatory context and future use.  

By combining technical expertise with regulatory insight to empower clients to anticipate change and manage uncertainty while achieving compliant, defensible cleanup strategies that stand up to regulatory and stakeholder scrutiny.

Yes. We work with clients to remove contamination barriers that limit redevelopment, supporting safer land reuse through investigation, remediation and risk management. 

Jacobs supports long-term risk management through monitoring and adaptive remediation as well as institutional controls, enabling clients to protect communities and assets while meeting regulatory and sustainability objectives.  

With decades of experience and thousands of projects worldwide, Jacobs brings scalable expertise — from remote sites to major infrastructure programs, combining innovation, global knowledge and proven delivery.
