I am interested in getting the translation for the phrase 'Sanierung von Altlasten' which is found in the sentence: 'Seit nunmehr 25 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns mit der Sanierung von Altlasten und der Entwicklung von energiesparenden Immobilien.'
Sentence is part of a homepage that is used by a company located in Germany which provides environmental engineering services.

(remediation and) redevelopment of contaminated sites
Sanierung in the sense of remediation implies the action of correcting/remedying something defective or deficient, especially the reversal or stopping of damage to the environment. If the environmental engineering services provided by the company include 'remediation', the word may be retained in translation. If not, just 'redevelopment' should be fine.

: I think " Alt" is important. Altlasten often refers to contamination caused when people were less concerned with the environment, and especially East Germany.

Thanks, Phil. In (the field of) translation, given the variety of the field, one never ceases to learn.

Comment: "Thanks- I picked remediation as coming closest to the word 'Sanierung' in the context of environmental damage. remediation of contaminated sites was the final phrase I picked!"
