Created by environmental professionals
Main Products
At PIR-a, we provide comprehensive solutions designed to streamline and optimize environmental projects for our clients. By leveraging advanced automation, enhancing data management capabilities, and minimizing reporting times, we empower our clients to achieve greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness in their projects. Additionally, we are committed to improving decision-making through continual innovation in the assessment process by developing practical, science-based tools.
SMA
The SMA (Sample Management Application) product is designed to streamline and enhance the efficiency of the Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment processes. Create the logs, tables and images needed to make decisions and build the basis of your final report.
RemMS
RemMS (Remediation Management System) provides a centralized data management system along with a correlation assessment tool which helps assess soil quality for better decision-making and reduces manual effort and errors.
Innovations in Assessment
At PIR-a we just can’t help but innovative! Other technologies we have in the works include a petroleum hydrocarbon data correlation tool to help determine impacts in the field and imaging technology to assess sulfur impacts in soils for real-time remediation assessment. We are also working with Alberta regulators to develop new assessment criteria for sulfur in soils that will better apply site specific conditions to determine true potential environmental impacts and increase the reuse of quality soils.
Who We Are
Our name, PIR-a Consulting Corp., is derived from our core values: Purpose and Innovation grounded in Reality and Awareness. The name reminds us that we strive to have these principles define our corporate identity by guiding our commitment to excellence in both our internal practices and external client relationships. We are based in Calgary, Alberta, with projects extending across Western Canada.
Meet Our Leadership Team
James Freeman; Director of Vision
After 18 years as the head of a prominent Calgary based consultancy and becoming one of the top contamination hydrogeologists in western Canada, James decided he wanted to branch out on a new mission to bring science-based efficiencies to the environmental space as the President of PIR-a in 2016.
Through the PIR-a team, James has already seen his vision for an assessment support application (SMA) and a remediation management system (RemMS) come to life, alongside the initial development of several other field-based assessment tools. And this is just the beginning of PIR-a’s innovation journey!
