Products

• Application Of An Ecosystem Framework.

  The application of an ecosystem framework facilitates land use change in a sustainable manner which respects natural environmental functions. The framework establishes existing environmental functions, linkages and unique attributes.

  As well, it reviews alternative land use changes which may ensure the maintenance or enhancement of the natural environment. Gartner Lee applies this ecosystem philosophy to projects ranging from the 'greening' of municipal plans and the identification of sensitive ecosystems, to specific subdivision plans.

• Compflow - A Multiphase Flow And Transport Model.

  CompFlow is a state-of-the-art model that can simulate the migration of Light Non-Aqueous Phases Liquids (gasoline) and Dense Non-Aqueous Phases Liquids (Tricholorethylene) in ground water systems.

  The model not only simulates the bulk movement of the Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL) phase, it also takes into account the movement of the gas and aqueous phases of each of the various components that make up the product and the partitioning of the compounds between phases. More important is the ability of the model to assess the expected performance of different remedial methods and designs.

  The model thus provides a cost-effective means of simulating many possible design alternatives and investigating the sensitivity of remedial design performance to uncertainty in the design parameters. Modelling studies can be done prior to incurring the expense of pilot test programs and could result in considerable savings in site characterization and clean up costs.

• Environmental Products And Services
• Opportunity Approach (or Desirable Characteristics Approach).

  An Opportunity Approach, known as Desirable Characteristics Approach, focuses the landfill search on desirable rather than undesirable siting attributes and criteria. Aside from cost and time efficiencies, its biggest strength is the more realistic and explicit way that it deals with the major trade-offs.

  Although the public often finds it difficult to deal with major trade-off issues, it is better to recognize them and work co-operatively toward a solution early in the site selection process. Gartner Lee pioneered the approach and has successfully applied it on numerous landfill site selection projects.
