Environment
For over two decades, Trabajos Submarinos, C.A. has developed a solid track record in environmental services, focusing on the identification, management, and resolution of anthropogenic impacts. Its approach spans aquatic systems, marine, coastal, lacustrine, and riverine, as well as terrestrial environments, delivering integrated solutions grounded in technical excellence, regulatory compliance, and a strong commitment to sustainable development.
Environmental Services
Analysis and Remediation of Contaminated Areas
Assessment of contaminated sites and development of remediation and environmental restoration projects, using methodologies aligned with international risk-based corrective action (RBCA) standards.
With over a decade of environmental experience, TRABSUB has led the assessment of numerous contaminated sites. Its methodologies integrate technical sampling, analytical chemistry, physical methods, and biological toxicity indicators to determine the extent and severity of contamination and to define the scope of remediation projects.
Interventions are carried out in compliance with current regulatory standards, applying risk-based corrective action (RBCA) methodologies and selecting technologies that deliver optimal cost-effectiveness. In addition, we provide advisory services on management strategies and treatment technologies for industrial waste.
Environmental Audits
Assessment and evaluation of environmental performance indicators in the hydrocarbons industry, focusing on the control of effluents, emissions, and waste in compliance with ISO 14001 standards.
TRABSUB leads data collection and evaluation processes for environmental performance indicators in the hydrocarbons industry, supporting management systems for the control of effluents, emissions, and both hazardous and non-hazardous waste, in compliance with ISO 14001 standards.
The implementation of audit programs allows for the proactive identification of operational risks, optimizing resource use and minimizing environmental and social impacts, while aligning operations with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Environmental and Sociocultural Impact Studies
Coordination and execution of Environmental and Sociocultural Impact Assessments (ESIAs), baseline studies, and technical support throughout documentation and regulatory compliance processes.
TRABSUB coordinates and executes specialized environmental studies, develops terms of reference for Environmental and Sociocultural Impact Assessments (ESIAs), and conducts the baseline studies required to support these processes. The company also assists project developers in documentation management, monitoring plans, and regulatory compliance in accordance with current requirements.
Environmental Baseline Studies
Baseline data collection in aquatic and terrestrial systems prior to industrial project execution, including soil and water quality, fauna, flora, and marine dynamics.
As a key component of environmental studies, TRABSUB has the expertise to coordinate and execute baseline studies prior to the construction of industrial facilities. These include assessments of soil and water quality (physicochemical parameters, metals, and hydrocarbons), geotechnical conditions, hydrology and groundwater, as well as fauna, flora, and air quality.
In aquatic environments, TRABSUB has the capability to carry out data collection on currents, sediment redistribution modeling, bathymetry, tidal dynamics, benthic and nektonic communities, and environmental quality across marine, coastal, lacustrine, and riverine settings.
Risks and Biosafety
Audits and management plans aimed at preventing the introduction and spread of invasive species, enabling early detection of biodiversity threats, and supporting effective risk management.
TRABSUB designs and executes audits and management plans to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species, in compliance with International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations. Its capabilities include early detection of biodiversity threats and the development of tailored management plans for each operational context.
