Environmental Consulting
Environmental decisions are business decisions.
At ECECG, we know that environmental issues can greatly impact property transactions and development decisions.
The scope of these issues can determine the success - or failure - of your development plans.
Providing Comprehensive Environmental Capabilities
A recognized local, regional and national leader in environmental compliance and consulting, ECECG utilizes sound environmental techniques to create innovative solutions and cost-savings options for even the most challenging environmental problems.
Our knowledge of local conditions and regulations helps us develop cost effective and timely solutions for our clients.
Our environmental services include:
Waste Management
ECECG develops innovative solutions to solve waste management problems. We assist private and public sector customers with all aspects of waste minimization, hazardous waste management, radioactive waste management, and solid waste management.
We work closely with our clients to establish project goals early, so that subsequent activities are directed toward their efficient and timely realization.
Our successful track record of risk-based evaluation, cost-effective technology selection, and client advocacy has established us as a premier consultant in this arena.
We are intimately familiar with relevant environmental regulations and the many critical issues that can affect our clients' costs and liabilities.
Our expertise in engineering and risk assessment enable us to develop cost-effective strategies that are consistent with the current regulatory climate and protective of public health and the environment.
Site Solutions
ECECG's site solutions through its multidisciplinary experts operate without boundaries to provide clients with the best possible team for each project.
Whether completing a Phase II investigation or conducting a comprehensive site characterization and remediation project in response to a land pollution issue in South America, or installing an air treatment system at a manufacturing plant in Asia, ECECG draws on a diverse staff of geologists, hydrogeologists, risk assessors, engineers, and more to employ a collaborative approach and a global perspective to implementing solutions.
Risk Assessment & Risk Management
ECECG's environmental scientists, engineers and modeling specialists work closely with our health scientists consultants to make sure that the nature and magnitude of potential exposures can be properly characterized.
Our health scientists have played leading roles in the development and application of many of the methodologies used to evaluate epidemiology and toxicology data and dose-response information for purposes of human health risk assessment.
Our work has been at the heart of most of the significant risk issues of the past 25 years-from models for cross-species or low-dose extrapolation to the appropriate use of pharmacokinetic and mechanistic data.
Risk assessment capabilities are critical to developing risk-based clean-up goals and identifying the most effective remedies. Our teams draw on experts in the toxicological, biological, and physical-chemical principles underlying the risk assessment process as well as on experts in conducting exposure assessments, enabling us to apply innovative, scientifically defensible approaches, rather than relying solely on standard regulatory methodologies.
Facilities Consulting
Protect. Comply. Improve.
At ECECG, our facilities consulting personnel assist our clients in evaluating and managing the built environment. Facilities owners can rely on ECECG to provide expert, timely and cost effective services that support their facilities management initiatives.
