Environmental Services

Phase I Environmental Site Assessments

A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) is performed to identify the presence or likely presence of contaminants on a property. This process includes obtaining and reviewing publicly available records for the site, performing site reconnaissance, interviewing those with knowledge of the site, and preparing a report.

Phase II Environmental Site Assessments

If a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) identifies the presence or likely presence of contaminants on a property, then a Phase II ESA is performed to further evaluate if contamination is present and to what extent. Phase II ESA’s can include soil, groundwater, and/or surface water collection and testing.

Soil Contamination Testing

Obtaining soil samples in accordance with Florida Department of Environmental Protection approved procedures and delivering the samples to an analytical laboratory for contamination testing.

Groundwater and Surface Water Contamination Testing

Obtaining groundwater and/or surface water samples in accordance with Florida Department of Environmental Protection approved procedures and delivering the samples to an analytical laboratory for contamination testing.

Facility Evaluation & Maintenance

Concrete Restoration

Identifying and evaluationg areas of concrete deterioration and/or spalling in an existing building and determining the appropriate repair methodology.

Pavement & Roadway Consulting

Evaluating the condition of existing pavements, determining remaining useful life and maintenance options, preparing pavement maintenance plans, and assisting Associations with their repaving projects.

Roof Consulting

If a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) identifies the presence or likely presence of contaminants on a property, then a Phase II ESA is performed to further evaluate if contamination is present and to what extent. Phase II ESA’s can include soil, groundwater, and/or surface water collection and testing.
