For a major real estate developer, we conducted both Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessment, including a comprehensive evolution of historical and current activities and their environmental impacts. This included verification of contamination in soil and building materials. Based on the results, we updated the risk assessment and recommended site clean up, followed by preparation of the concrete remedial project.

ENACON provides comprehensive environmental audits for both greenfield developments and, with growing frequency, brownfield redevelopment projects. Following the initial site inspection and review (Phase I), we proceed—where justified— with contamination investigations (Phase II), including drilling, sampling, and laboratory testing. To ensure effective and holistic site evaluation, we often integrate geotechnical and radon surveys. Where significant contamination is identified, we follow up with risk assessments and remediation proposals. ENACON also supervises the implementation of remediation works.

Major recent projects include assessments for the construction of the Amazon distribution centre in Kojetín, the redevelopment of the former Kovošrot scrap yard in Prague, the former Škoda factory site in Ostrov nad Ohří, and the former Poldi steelworks in Kladno.

Each year, we participate—often in cooperation with our international partners—in numerous pre-acquisition (due diligence) audits of manufacturing sites and commercial properties across the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In recent years, these have included facilities in the automotive sector, electrical engineering, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, food processing, metallurgy, heavy machinery,  or magnesite mining and processing operations.

These audits assess not only the environmental condition of the sites, but also key occupational health and safety aspects, and, increasingly, core ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) elements. Thanks to our integrated approach, we provide investors with a clear understanding of both the risks and the opportunities associated with the planned acquisition.
