Tire Shack Brewery

Location: Moncton
Project Type: Limited Environmental Soil Investigation
Year: 2018

Our Limited Soil Investigation service helps identify potential contamination in specific areas of a property—especially during redevelopment, property transfers, or after a Phase I ESA flags environmental concerns.

This service is ideal for:

Properties with a history of commercial or industrial use
Sites with suspected petroleum storage or underground infrastructure (e.g., hoists, tanks)
Locations where unusual odors or previous reports suggest potential subsurface impacts

How it works:
We use targeted drilling and soil sampling techniques to assess conditions beneath the surface. Our certified environmental professionals collect and analyze samples for petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other parameters based on the regulatory guidelines in New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada.

There’s no need for the client to prepare anything in advance—we coordinate subcontractors, lab submissions, and all necessary reporting. In the event that contamination is found, we’ll guide you on how to handle and manage the materials in line with NBDELG standards.

Sydney Waterfront Campus

Location: Sydney, Nova Scotia
Project Type: Phase II ESA and Remediation
Year: 2024-2025

Our Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and Remediation service addressed historical tar contamination from a former asphalt plant near Sydney Harbour. This work was completed under the Nova Scotia Contaminated Sites Regulations to support the redevelopment of the NSCC Waterfront Campus.

This service is ideal for:

Former industrial or waterfront properties undergoing redevelopment
Sites with petroleum, tar, or asphalt related contamination
Locations requiring regulatory closure or environmental liability management

How it works:
We conducted drilling, test pitting, and groundwater monitoring to identify contaminants including petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and metals. Remediation involved removing over 1,400 tonnes of impacted soils and debris, followed by confirmatory sampling, shoreline cleanup, and stabilization with armor stone.

All work followed NSECC protocols (PRO-200, PRO-400, PRO-700), ensuring compliance and safe redevelopment for institutional and community use.

Wetland Delineation

Location: New Brunswick & Nova Scotia
Project Type: Wetland Delineation & Environmental Permitting
Year: 2024-2025

Our Wetland Delineation service provides clients with clear boundaries and regulatory guidance for properties where wetlands may be present. This ensures compliance with provincial and federal regulations while supporting project planning and approvals.

This service is ideal for:

Developers and landowners preparing for construction or subdivision
Municipal and industrial projects requiring regulatory permits
Environmental due diligence for property acquisition

How it works:

Using field surveys, soil classification, and vegetation assessment, our team mapped wetland boundaries and confirmed their regulatory status. We prepared supporting documentation for permit applications, coordinated with regulators, and provided practical recommendations to minimize environmental impact while meeting development goals.

Each of these projects reflects our commitment to delivering practical, science-based solutions that balance development goals with environmental responsibility. Our work demonstrates how we help clients move forward with confidence — by identifying risks, navigating regulations, and providing clear, effective solutions. Across Atlantic Canada, Hive Engineering partners with developers, investors, and communities to solve environmental challenges, ensure compliance, and unlock new opportunities for sustainable growth.
