Services
Phase I ESA
Our Phase I Environmental Site Assessments follow ASTM E 1527-21 standards to identify potential contamination risks on commercial properties. We conduct historical research, site inspections, and regulatory database reviews to evaluate environmental liabilities. Clients benefit from our 34-year track record in clearing over $1 billion in real estate transactions.
Phase II ESA
Phase II assessments involve soil, groundwater, and vapor sampling to confirm contamination identified in Phase I reports. Our team uses advanced equipment like Porta-FID II meters and direct-push technology for accurate data collection. We specialize in remediating chlorinated solvents, petroleum products, and heavy metals in compliance with FDEP standards.
Groundwater Remediation
We implement remediation strategies like pump-and-treat systems, bio-augmentation, and air sparging to address groundwater contamination. Our solutions meet EPA guidelines and state regulations while minimizing disruption to clients' operations. Projects include large-scale industrial sites and municipal water sources.
Vapor Intrusion Screening
Using ASTM E 2600-22 protocols, we assess vapor intrusion risks from subsurface contaminants. Our testing identifies volatile organic compounds migrating into buildings, providing actionable data for mitigation. This service is critical for properties near former industrial zones or landfills.
Asbestos Testing
We conduct asbestos surveys and air quality testing for commercial buildings, following EPA and OSHA regulations. Our licensed professionals collect samples and provide abatement recommendations, ensuring safe compliance for property transactions or renovations.
