What We Do
Clients depend on us to understand their needs and objectives, to call on the full scope of our expertise, to provide actionable, data supported information and sound advice, and to deliver workable and cost-effective solutions to resolve any environmental pollution impact and restore property values.
Our innovative approach to program customization and our experience with a wide range of technologies allow us to provide a comprehensive suite of environmental services, delivered by experienced personnel, in the most practical and efficient way possible.
We deliver a complete suite of services to assist our clients in making educated and well-informed decisions on existing (or potential) environmental risks. Our professionals gather and analyze data to identify environmental risks, and then provide strategic recommendations that meet the client's business goals.
Our environmental consultants evaluate properties for pollution or contamination before acquisitions, ensure compliance with evolving environmental regulations, manage complex brownfield remediation projects, and work with clients and communities to develop sustainable and compliant environmental policies.
To ensure the safety of employees, residents, and local communities, we perform comprehensive environmental audits for clients at active commercial, industrial, and residential facilities.
These audits typically involve the identification and characterization of current or potential areas of environmental concern when evaluating sites for purposes such as regulatory compliance, property transactions, or business divestitures or acquisitions.
While mitigating EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) risks may seem like a basic part of running a healthy business, developing and managing a comprehensive EHS policy can be complex and time consuming. OSHA regulations protecting the health and safety of employees change. New environmental regulations are continually introduced by various regulators. The lists of environmental hazards you need workplace protections against is expanding.
An EHS program can cover a wide range of compliance regulations and requirements, including everything from OSHA regulations to oil storage requirements to pollution reporting.
We work with you to develop a strong corporate EHS policy that will keep these changing requirements organized and implement the proper programs to prevent environmental harm and prioritize worker health and safety.
Outsourcing all or part of your environmental staff offers advantages of scalability and ensured expertise.For clients with complex or ongoing environmental needs, having a knowledgeable and available in-house resource may be an ideal solution.
Our outsourcing services provide clients with vetted and appropriate experts in a wide range of environmental disciplines who can manage day to day environmental requirements and be available on-site to immediately respond to any unforeseen event.
We provide litigation support services for many matters involving direct environmental liabilities or the indirect impact of environmental work on other facilities projects.
These services typically involve providing expert testimony or performing technical reviews to evaluate the magnitude of claims and to substantiate our clients’ position.
Our experts define scientific issues, develop defense strategies, critique and analyze plaintiffs’ positions, prepare attorneys and witnesses for depositions, review and summarize literature, and prepare issue papers.
We are expert in all aspects of environmental due diligence. Our seasoned team of environmental professionals provide personalized support and guidance at every step of the environmental due diligence process.
We act as your strategic partner to fully assess your unique environmental impact circumstances and design a complete remedial solution that will best achieve your project objectives and business needs.
After (air, groundwater, soil) samples have been taken and the test results returned, our environmental experts analyze the lab data, as well as the geology and hydrogeology of the site, to produce a clear picture of the nature and composition of the contaminant plume and an indication of the source and direction of the contaminant movement through the site.
This data, along with forensic site research, gives us enough information to deliver informed and actionable advice to our clients regarding their options for the property.
Comprehensive database research into the history of the property, historic building plans, previous uses, regulatory compliance records, previous environmental work, and other relevant data points.
This data, along with the results of the contaminant assessment, gives us enough information to deliver informed and actionable advice to our clients regarding their options for the property.
From simple “dig and haul” to complex, multi-step cleanup programs, our environmental scientists and engineers will design a project-specific remediation plan that will repair the environmental damage and prepare your site for transfer, reuse, or redevelopment.
With current and historical site data collected and assessed, and with a clear understanding of the client's goals, our team of remediation engineers work together to develop an informed, workable, and effective project strategy that meets regulatory requirements and satisfies the client's intentions for the property.
Our project engineering teams have the expertise to design, build, deliver, and deploy remedial systems that will repair any environmental impact, realize cost and time savings, and restore the property value of any site.
We regularly deal with complex pollution issues in soil, groundwater, and vapor. Our remediation engineers focus on delivering appropriate strategies that achieve site closure as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.
This approach continues through the implementation and maintenance of the selected remedy, streamlining the cost and timeframe necessary to reach cleanup goals and reach client objectives.
Preserving our ecology and natural resources is part of our commitment to providing a clean, safe, and sustainable environment for future generations to experience and enjoy.
When a project includes a potential ecological element, our professional staff of scientists, biologists, engineers, and regulatory compliance specialists will assess the ecological risks and develop a feasible, cost effective solution that meets project goals, satisfies regulatory requirements, and effectively protects the environment and ecology.
We provide complete environmental permitting & compliance services for clients in all of our service sectors.
Our consultants are expert in the preparation of thorough permitting, compliance, and regulatory analysis, supportable documentation, regulatory negotiation, reporting, and ongoing permit management at the local, county, state, and federal levels of government.
Government regulation and permitting requirements are rapidly evolving to balance smart and sustainable commercial and industrial growth with environmental protection and public safety policy.
Our in-depth knowledge and understanding of Federal, State and Local regulatory policies, regulations, and permitting requirements allow us to navigate the entire process smoothly and efficiently.
When regulatory agencies' requirements seem inconsistent or incompatible and specific clarification is needed, our regulatory specialists know where to go, who to speak with, and the right questions to ask for answers and guidance.
We're successful in supporting both public and private sector clients in negotiating with environmental regulatory agencies and developing project strategies that ensure regulatory compliance and project closure.
We work with clients who require scheduled testing and reporting of their discharges or emissions to ensure that their environmental permits remain current and in compliance.
Our field teams collect necessary samples, review and analyze the returned lab data, and generate and submit the proper reports to ensure that ongoing permit requirements are met and business can continue without interruption.
Whether an environmental impact was caused by a small spill event or long-term contamination, we repair the damage and restore value to the property efficiently, economically and predictably.
We provide a suite of services to commercial, industrial, and governmental Underground/Above Ground Storage Tank (UST/AST) system owners and operators.
Our services include system compliance management, tank retrofit and upgrade, testing services, abandonment, removal and closure certification, and follow-up assessment and rehabilitation for leaking storage tank sites.
Our field teams are fully trained in OSHA health & safety requirements, purging & inerting techniques, confined space entry, excavation, and state and local tank regulations. We work with oil & gasoline tanks, as well as storage tanks containing flammable solvents, chlorinated organics, oxidizers, and a wide range of other chemical contaminants.
Nothing makes us happier than taking an abandoned, dirty, underutilized property that even rats avoid and restoring its value, bringing it into regulatory compliance, getting it ready for transfer or redevelopment, and watching it become something useful and vital to the community.
We make it as simple as possible for our clients and other stakeholders to stay thoroughly informed throughout the project lifecycle by positioning ourselves as the single point of contact from the very first Phase I site visit until the property is cleaned, compliant, and ready for whatever plans the client has for the site.
Our teams provide timely, actionable information and advice that facilitates the client’s decision making. Then we take those decisions, supported by our experience and full range of services, and seamlessly integrate them into the project flow.
In some cases, groundwater conditions respond to periodic monitoring or appropriate use restrictions. In other instances, the best solution is active treatment and remediation. When cleanup is required, our systems are engineered to work quickly and avoid long term costs.
Remediation strategies for contaminated soil depend on the character, concentration and extent of damages. When active repair is impractical or too costly, alternative strategies such as property use restrictions, protective barriers, and periodic monitoring may offer the best solutions.
Whatever the recommended remedy is, we deliver stakeholders data-supported and actionable advice that facilitates informed decisions regarding the project.
We deliver comprehensive abatement solutions to indoor air quality issues including mold, lead, asbestos, and vapor/odor intrusion in residential, commercial, educational and industrial facilities.
Our air quality teams sample suspect air and surfaces for analysis and develop a remediation strategy that removes the contamination, prevents any reoccurrence, meets regulatory compliance, and restores property values.
Our air quality team has extensive experience assessing, remediating, and permitting both large and small air-related projects around the country. Whether large scale power, complex chemical facilities, or simple manufacturing processes, we always provide our clients a custom solution that meets their needs and satisfies all regulatory compliance obligations.
We have in-depth understanding of current regulations and strong relationships with regulatory agencies, and can quickly step in to represent your company in ongoing matters. When you bring us on board, we are part of your team, focused on giving you the best professional information necessary to achieve your regulatory needs.
