The cleanup of a contaminated site can be an uncertain and expensive process. Cleanups mandated through the federal Superfund and RCRA Corrective Action programs, as well as state regulatory programs, can cost well in excess of their original estimate.

  • Site assessment
  • Feasibility studies
  • Bench- and pilot-scale testing
  • Remediation system design, construction, and operation
  • Human and ecological risk assessment
  • Litigation support
  • Regulatory negotiation
  • Natural attenuation evaluation and monitoring
  • Long-term monitoring services
  • Data Management and Presentation (e.g., GIS, environmental visualization systems, etc.)
  • Cost estimating (e.g., life cycle)
