Geotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering and SPCC Compliance
Our versatility in engineering and environmental consulting enabled us to provide a wide-range of on-call services this client for over 15 years. From geotechnical engineering to support facility expansion, to civil engineering, to EHS/compliance services, Verdantas has demonstrated that the depth and breadth of our experts and our responsive service results in long-term relationships with our clients.
Achievements
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION – We conducted a geotechnical investigation associated with an expansion of the facility’s garage/office building. We identified unsuitable solid waste fill within the footprint of the new building and provided geotechnical recommendations for proper preparation of the building pad.
CIVIL ENGINEERING – We prepared a civil engineering plan set for submission to the town for permitting expansion of the facility for new above-ground propane storage tanks.
SPILL PREVENTION, CONTROL AND COUNTERMEASURE PLAN PREPARATION – We prepared the plan for the facility to meet compliance requirements of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA’s) Oil Spill Prevention and Preparedness Regulations. As part of the plan preparation, we identified a deficiency in the storage capacity of the secondary containment associated with the above-ground storage tank field. The civil engineering plans provided details for increasing the secondary storage capacity for the tank field to meet compliance objectives.

Related Projects
At the outset of the project, we assisted with the various aspects of managing a large-scale renovation and demolition project. Demonstrating Verdantas' versatility, our services for this education sector client ranged from planning and completing a hazardous building material survey, to preparing comprehensive characterization reports and work plans to guide abatement activities over a 5-year period.
Achievements
DATA GAP ANALYSIS – The first step in the project was to compile the existing asbestos survey and abatement data to prepare a database of testing results to evaluate what media needed testing to plan abatement activities. This step reduced the number of samples for testing.
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL CHARACTERIZATION REPORTS – The project included coordinating a hazardous building material survey and identification of laboratory decontamination requirements based upon historical use. We prepared two Work Plans for different portions of the Science Center to identify impacted building materials, project sequencing, and contractor responsibilities for bidding purposes. We partnered with Environmental Health, Inc. to provide Project Monitoring (PM) services during abatement.
SOIL STABILZATION AT FORMER GREENHOUSE – During demolition of the former Greenhouse complex lead-impacted soil required stabilization to render the soil non-hazardous before excavation and disposal. We prepared the Soil Management Plan, oversaw stabilization activities, and collected confirmatory soil samples.
ASBESTOS OPERATION, MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE (OMM) PLANS – At completion of the renovation project, we prepared OMMs Plans for two portions of the building where asbestos containing materials (ASCM) not abated. The plans identify the location of ACM and provide management guidelines to minimize the potential for exposure.
