Engineers' years of experience in working with real estate firms and
lending institutions has led us to develop an efficient, tailored approach
to performing site assessments.
Our staff of engineers, geologists and technicians provide
comprehensive environmental site assessments to assist property owners,
developers, banks, etc. in determining potential environmental liabilities
associated with real property acquisition, disposition and ownership.
Information obtained through environmental site assessments can have a
significant impact on the economics of a property transaction, affecting
the owner, buyer, seller and lender.

| A Phase I Site Assessment satisfies
the due diligence requirements of a property transaction utilizing ASTM
and client-specific guidelines by identifying possible environmental
impairments on a particular property.
Phase I services typically include:
- A physical survey of surrounding properties to determine general use
and occupants of the area, and a review of data regarding local geology
& hydrology.
- An assessment of current and past uses and practices of the property
to determine if any hazardous material or waste disposal has occurred at
the site. Includes public, historical and regulatory agency file reviews
- An on-site visual inspection of site to identify recognized
environmental concerns.
|
A Phase II Site Investigation provides a more comprehensive and
detailed review of a site to evaluate suspected environmental impairments
and the extent of surface and subsurface contamination. Confirms
environmental impairments and liabilities, and yields projections of
mitigation costs. This information may be used in negotiating terms and
conditions in a particular property transaction.
Phase II services may include:
- Asbestos Survey
- Closure options and regulatory negotiations
- Contamination evaluations
- Cost estimating for remedial actions
- Geophysical Investigations
- Monitoring well and soil boring installation
- Preparation of a sampling and analysis plan and site safety and
health plan
- Remedial design and implementation
Review of previous investigations and site data
- Soil, groundwater, and waste material sampling

professionals can also provide other services associated with property
negotiations and transactions such as environmental compliance audits, and
project management systems for large assessment programs.
