Environmental Services
Our environmental services are designed to facilitate the tight time frames necessitated by construction schedules or real estate transactions while at the same time providing our client's with the due diligence protections afforded under CERCLA in accordance with the nationally recognized ASTM protocols for these types of assessments. The breadth of our experience has aided our clients in reviewing potential acquisition targets by groups interested in redeveloping impacted properties, including the assessment of potential liabilities, preparation of potential remedial scenarios for differing end uses, and potential cost ranges for those remedial strategies. Adapt has worked aggressively to bring together development teams with complementary skills to carry out such projects.
In this complex and increasingly stringent regulatory climate, Adapt has evolved into a full service and service-oriented environmental engineering and consulting firm, capable of providing a rapid, thorough response to the wide range of possible environmental issues including the following:
