About IEC SA
At Indoor Environmental Consulting (IEC SA), we are dedicated to improving indoor environments affected by hazardous events.
Our mission is to provide guidance and support to ensure safe and healthy spaces for all.
What we do...
The level to which event damage and remediation works are undertaken can have significant impacts on the occupant’s health and / or the owner or insurer's financial obligation.
IEC SA have a high level of experience and are industry-recognised in event impact assessments and post remediation verification. We provide unbiased advice from the initial identification through to risk assessment / management advice, project management of works and monitoring/clearances following remediation.
Engaging IEC SA at project onset can greatly assist with not only protecting the health and well-being of the insured, occupants and contractors but also mitigating losses (time, money, reputation). This can serve to prevent litigation and reduce settlement amounts on claims.
Assessment requirements are dependent on the nature of the event and the client's preferred level of assessment. IEC SA offers clients a range of solutions, from simple visual inspections to detailed impact assessments that provide the basis for the preparation of independent scope of remedial works and action plans.
