At BE3, we specialize in transforming brownfield sites into valuable community assets through our comprehensive brownfield redevelopment services. Our expertise in construction and remediation support ensures that every project is handled with the utmost care and adherence to environmental standards.
Construction and Remediation Support Services
Once a brownfield site is properly remediated and ready for redevelopment, BE3 provides ongoing environmental monitoring, management, and oversight throughout the construction process. Our key construction support services include the following:
-
- Environmental Monitoring
We conduct thorough air monitoring for dust, vapors, and any residual contamination during construction to ensure compliance and protect community air quality. Our monitoring services also extend to surface water, stormwater runoff, and groundwater quality, ensuring a safe environment for all.
-
- Soil and Waste Management Planning
Effective soil and residual management is crucial during redevelopment. We develop comprehensive Site and Soil Management Plans (SMPs) and material tracking procedures to properly segregate and manage contaminated soils from clean soils excavated during construction activities.
-
- Health & Safety Oversight
The safety of workers is our priority. BE3 ensures that all personnel adhere to appropriate health and safety protocols, particularly those related to hazardous material requirements. We monitor work areas and activities to maintain a safe working environment.
-
- Regulatory Compliance Verification
Navigating regulatory requirements can be complex. Our team reviews contractor submittals, inspection reports, and other documentation to verify that all environmental commitments, plans, permits, and regulations are being strictly adhered to from a federal and state level.
-
- Documentation & Reporting
We provide comprehensive data management and technical reporting, facilitating audits and verification by agencies overseeing the project (e.g., NYSDEC, NYSDOH, USEPA, etc.). Our detailed documentation ensures transparency and accountability throughout the redevelopment process.
-
- On-Site Environmental Professionals
At BE3, our environmental professionals are fully trained and certified and are co-located on job sites to provide hands-on management and quality oversight. Acting as a critical link between contractors and project owners/developers, we ensure that every aspect of the project meets our high standards.
-
- Sustainable Redevelopment & Green Remediation
As part of our brownfield redevelopment initiatives, we advise on sustainable best management practices (BMPs) and green remediation techniques to minimize environmental footprints. Our approach includes evaluating options for:
-
-
- Renewable energy sources for redevelopment
- Water conservation and reuse strategies
- Recycling and reusing materials from demolition
- Integrating green building and infrastructure elements
- Using stabilization products to immobilize contaminants in place
- Implementing low-impact development and green remediation strategies
- Calculating emissions reductions and energy use reductions
-
From initial sustainability evaluations during planning to environmentally-conscious remediation practices and final redevelopment design, BE3 helps clients achieve their sustainability goals and ensure compliance with NYS CLCPA.
-
- Continued Compliance & Long-Term Monitoring
For many brownfield redevelopment projects, long-term engineering or institutional controls must be established and maintained even after active remediation is complete. BE3 offers continued compliance management and long-term monitoring services, which include:
-
-
- Developing site management plans for operational requirements
- Designing and implementing monitoring plans and schedules
- Conducting routine inspections, sampling, and reporting
- Evaluating monitoring data for significant changes over time
- Verifying compliance with land use or deed restrictions
- Interfacing with regulatory agencies on performance metrics
- Periodically certifying that all controls remain effective
