Environmental Diagnostics

What Environmental Diagnostics does

Environmental Diagnostics Inc. (EDI) is a privately held environmental and engineering consulting firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, with additional field offices in Edmonton, Alberta and Kamloops, British Columbia. The firm provides environmental site assessment, risk management, remediation, indoor air quality, and regulatory compliance services to commercial, industrial, oil and gas, and government clients throughout Western Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan). Core services include Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments prepared in accordance with Canadian CSA Standards Z768-01 and Z769-01, complemented by risk management plans, soil vapour and indoor air evaluations, and facilities regulatory compliance work under the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) and Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP).

The company's underlying technology combines subsurface investigations, accredited laboratory analysis, and risk assessment methodologies, supplemented by proprietary remediation techniques developed in-house, including in-situ electrokinetics for salt and metal contamination, enhanced pumping methods that concentrate contamination around extraction wells, and multi-stage injection techniques for disulfide remediation in groundwater. EDI maintains an internal historical records database and library built over more than 25 years of field assessments in Alberta, which enables service continuity when external archives, libraries, and universities are closed and supports a differentiated 48-hour Environmental Fact Sheet product for residential screening. Personnel include scientists, engineers, technicians, and technologists credentialed through APEGA, AIA, ASET, ACPA, ACPBC, CRLA, and SIA.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services engagements, with Phase I ESAs typically priced at $2,000-$3,000 per commercial or industrial property and Phase II/remediation work quoted based on drilling locations, parameters tested, and rig requirements. The firm operates a sales-led enterprise go-to-market, engaging directly with property buyers, sellers, realtors, developers, lenders, and municipalities, with reports accepted by all major Canadian banks and reliance letters issued at no additional cost. EDI reports an 85% return client rate and 2,500+ sites assessed across its 30+ year operating history, indicating a stable repeat-business model anchored in regulatory expertise and lender acceptance rather than transactional volume.
