About Us

Groundwater Environmental Management Services, GEMS was established in 2005 to serve a growing need for a practical approach to the increasingly complex environmental regulatory and compliance challenges in the construction and land development industry.

Over the years, the need for a practical approach to environmental management is becoming more, not less, important for construction and development projects.

Ever increasing regulations, environmental obligations and owner requirements are causing environmental permitting, approval and compliance issues to have bigger and bigger impacts on project budgets, time-lines and bottom-lines.

GEMS has grown up by bundling boots-on-the-ground experience with a practical approach and exceptional service to

contractors, owners and their consultants. We manage everything from routine day-to-day inspections to environmental

emergencies at our client’s sites. We work to actively fill the space between regulators and our clients.

Our focus on construction and land development allows us to be specialize in providing practical solutions for the increasingly

complex regulatory and compliance challenges in the industry.

By delivering innovating, win-win solutions to satisfy policy and regulations, that work on the ground in the real-world, GEMS has

become highly trusted by government ministries responsible for environment, fisheries and natural resources, conservation

authorities and City Hall.

With thousands of projects under our belt, we have done everything from collecting scientific baseline data, to classifying

wetlands, to environmental impact statements to fish and wildlife relocation and construction site monitoring. It doesn’t matter

what we are doing, the practical approach that started it all, remains.
