About Zahra

A polluted site with a poorly executed diagnosis can lead to a blocked building permit, a halted construction site, and regulatory issues. I am the consultant who prevents this.

Over 7 years, I have managed situations where environmental risk was real, urgent, and costly if mishandled: 26 months of industrial risk prevention at the Disneyland Paris ICPE site, 28 months in an SSP and geotechnical engineering firm, and 20 months leading an asbestos analysis unit with COFRAC accreditation obtained in 3 months.

What this means for you concretely:

✔ Your file passes review without back-and-forth – I know what authorities expect.

✔ Your contaminated soil is qualified, valued, or removed properly – no surprises during construction.

✔ Your deadlines are met – I manage subcontractors and laboratories from start to finish.

✔ Your asbestos risk is assessed by someone who masters analysis at the source – not just the lab report.

3 ways to work with me:

▸ Quick pre-acquisition diagnosis (3–5 days, starting from €1,800 HT)

▸ Complete turnkey investigation mission (from design to regulatory deliverable)

▸ Senior engineering support (immediate integration, daily rates based on volume)

Send me your needs. I will respond within 24 hours with a concrete proposal.

    Independent Consultant specializing in SSP & Asbestos— I operate with complete autonomy throughout the entire environmental mission cycle: from designing the investigation program to the NF X31-620 regulatory deliverable.

    ✔ INFO+DIAG reports, Management Plans, EQRS compliant with DRIEAT/DREAL expectations

    ✔ Qualification and traceability of contaminated soil — removal, containment, monitoring
