Brownfield Redevelopment
Our Site Packaging service combines environmental remediation, geotechnical engineering, and site development to deliver pad-ready properties. This turn-key solution streamlines regulatory compliance, reduces costs, and shortens timelines by eliminating coordination with multiple consultants. Clients benefit from transparent cost estimation and single-point-of-contact project management for contaminated site redevelopment.
Remediation Services
We design and implement conventional and advanced remediation technologies, including soil vapor extraction, in-situ bioremediation, and hazardous waste stabilization. Our single-point-of-contact approach ensures regulatory compliance and clear communication throughout project phases. Services cover asbestos abatement, underground storage tank removal, and groundwater remediation, tailored to meet specific site requirements and regulatory standards.
Geotechnical Engineering
Our geotechnical services include subsurface investigations, foundation engineering, and soil testing for commercial and residential developments. Field and laboratory testing assess soil properties to inform construction design and prevent settlement issues. Clients receive expert recommendations for earthwork, dewatering systems, and deep foundation solutions like micropiles and caissons.
Construction Material Testing
We verify compliance of construction materials through soil, concrete, asphalt, and steel testing. Our certified technicians perform field inspections and lab analysis following ASTM standards. Services include density testing, concrete cylinder evaluation, and pavement design parameters, ensuring structural integrity and adherence to project specifications during construction phases.
Environmental Compliance Audits
We assist clients with local, state, and federal environmental regulations through audits and permitting services. Our expertise includes SPCC plans, NPDES wastewater permits, and Phase I/II site assessments. We facilitate agency negotiations and risk-based corrective actions to ensure compliance while minimizing project delays and liability risks.
