Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is not new. ADR refers to an alternative method of dispute resolution. It is an alternative to going to court. Now that the court system is overloaded and so expensive, alternative methods are necessary. Some contracts even require that alternative methods be used as the only method of resolution (binding), eliminating court as the final determination.

Water and wastewater clarifiers are subject to harsh conditions - constant contact with water and corrosive chemicals. The life expectancy of these structures is dependent on proper maintenance of the protective coatings on the steel and concrete. Evaluates existing coatings to determine proper procedures for removal and disposal of coating and spent abrasives that may contain heavy metals and other hazardous waste components.

Concrete tanks present special challenges as rehabilitation options and costs vary widely depending on the type of tank and amount of deterioration. Unlike steel tanks that can be restored to a nearly new condition with thorough surface preparation and painting, concrete tanks usually require a targeted approach that minimizes further deterioration in a cost effective manner. Unlike steel tanks that are damaged through localized corrosion, concrete structures suffer from cracking, spalling and differential settlement.
