Services
Methane Testing
Our methane testing services include site-specific soil gas investigations and LADBS-compliant assessments. We deploy sub-slab probes to measure methane levels and determine appropriate mitigation strategies. This critical first step ensures regulatory compliance and safety for construction projects on contaminated sites.
Methane Mitigation Design
We design engineered methane mitigation systems tailored to project requirements. Our solutions include passive ventilation, electronic detection, and mechanical systems that meet local building codes. These systems prevent hazardous gas migration into structures while maintaining environmental compliance throughout the construction process.
Environmental Site Assessments
Our environmental site assessments identify subsurface contamination risks including methane, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds. We evaluate existing monitoring systems and provide remediation recommendations to ensure safe development on former oil wells, landfills, and contaminated properties.
Waterproofing Consulting
We offer waterproofing solutions for below-grade and above-grade construction. Our consultants design coating systems and drainage solutions that protect structures from water intrusion while integrating with methane mitigation requirements for comprehensive site safety.
Construction Monitoring
Our licensed deputy inspectors provide quality assurance during construction. We monitor methane barrier installations, waterproofing applications, and groundwater control systems to ensure proper implementation of engineered designs and compliance with regulatory standards.
