- Domestic Projects
-
Although the focus of CENSOL is on international projects, as the
representative of the POLLUTECH companies, it does undertake selective
domestic projects in all provinces and territories across Canada. In
addition, the CENSOL team works very closely with POLLUTECH to continue to
provide the same level of services that were provided prior to the corporate
reorganization. CENSOL has been a successful supplier to many of the
departments of the Canadian Federal Government, as well as to Provincial
Departments in Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Ontario, and British Columbia.
For additional details on the domestic services, please refer to the details

Limited, and Pollutech Enviroquatics
Limited, or contact us at CENSOL and

- Water & Wastewater Treatment
-
Since inception of the Pollutech companies in 1969, by the founder Dr.
Jack Norman, the company has gained recognition as a leader in the process
design and optimization of water and wastewater treatment plants.
Initially this service was provided within Canada, for major municipalities
in the regions of Niagara, Hamilton, Halton, Durham, Ottawa, Moncton and
Muskoka. Working with leading environmental engineering firms, the
team provided support for the design of facilities with leading
technologies, providing the proof that careful planning, testing and design
can lead to a fool proof system.
With the advent of the international initiatives in 1984 by Richard
Laughton, and the formation of Pollutech International Limited in 1991, the
group took the domestic expertise to the international marketplace and
executed water and wastewater projects in Turkey, Venezuela, Lesotho, St.
Lucia, Uruguay, Nicaragua, and most recently in the United States.
Please follow the link for additional details on the scope of services for Water
and Wastewater Projects.

- Environmental Management Programs
-
The topic of environmental management programs consists of a host of
sub-topics that include environmental assessment, environmental auditing,
development of environmental management plans, the execution of
environmental site assessments and completion of environmental risk
assessments. Since 1975, when the first Federal EA was completed by
the original Pollutech team, to the execution of the ISO 14001 Gap Analysis
in Nicaragua in 2001, the team has continued to show leadership in this
area. Richard Laughton of CENSOL and Paul Kirby of Pollutech, are both
successful graduates of the program for "screening under the Canadian
Environmental Assessment Act", as provided by the Canadian
Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) and are recognized as
"Canadian Certified Environmental Practitioners" (CCEP) in the
specific categories as set by the Canadian
Environmental Certification Approvals Board (CECAB). Richard
Laughton has also achieved certification as a "Certified Environmental
Auditor" (CEA), an EMS Lead Auditor (EMS-LA), and a "Certified
Assessor of Sites" (CEAS) through the accredited programs of the Canadian
Environmental Auditing Association (CEAA).
For additional details on the wide range of programs and services that are
offered by the team in this field, follow the link to our Environmental
Management Programs.

- Legal Support and ADR
-
For over 25 years, the principals of the company have been provided
significant support to the national and international legal community
through the provision of scientific studies to support a wide array of
interesting litigation matters, quasi-judicial hearings, and expert
testimony. In addition, Richard Laughton is qualified in the field of
Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR), as a successful graduate of the ADR
Canadian Arbitration Course in 1995. Since that time, Richard has been
the Secretary of the Environmental Section of the ADR
Institute of Canada (Ontario Section).
Expert testimony has been provided for a number of law firms with cases
before the courts and hearing bodies. We have provided evidence for
cases before the Federal Court of Canada, the Provincial Courts of Ontario
and British Columbia, and within Ontario the Environmental Assessment Board,
the Consolidated Hearings Board, the Ontario Municipal Board and the Niagara
Escarpment Commission. Most recently, we were retained as experts to
assist in the negotiations for a legal matter involving a large merger and
acquisition in Italy (see references posted on this site).
For details on the array of legal projects we have completed, and ADR
programs executed, please follow the link to our Legal
Support and ADR.
