Environmental Consulting Services
A site’s history can be full of buried surprises that can stall a project indefinitely or become a problem down the road. Geo-Hydro acts as your expert navigator, identifying these surprises early so you can build on a clean slate.
Environmental regulations are often a complex maze of uncompromising rules. Our ASTM-trained specialists provide the clarity you need to stay compliant and keep your timeline on track.
Our services include:
- Phase I & II Site Assessments & Investigations
- Underground
- Storage Tank Consulting
- Contamination Assessments
- Coordination
- Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans
- Best Management Practices (BMP) Inspections
- Brownfields Management
- Vapor Intrusion Mitigation System
- (VIMS) Design and Inspection
Industrial Hygiene
While you might envision hazardous environments with glowing green goo, the most significant risks are often completely silent and invisible. Without proper oversight, a building can quickly turn into a monster of health liabilities. Geo-Hydro’s Industrial Hygiene (IH) team uses our investigation services to manage known or hidden hazards and assist in navigating regulations for hazard prevention and control.
We provide the technical oversight needed to maintain a safe, compliant environment across industrial, residential, and educational sectors.
Our IH services include:
- Asbestos Surveys
- Lead-Based Paint Inspections
- Hazardous Materials Inventory
- Exposure Monitoring
- Multifamily & Commercial Radon Testing
- Mold & Moisture Assessments
- Noise Assessments
- Indoor & Outdoor Air Quality Assessments
Constructions Materials Testing & Special Inspections
Just as a master chef tastes every ingredient to attest that the final dish is perfect, our Construction Materials Testing (CMT) team provides documentation and test results that give you clear insight into the concrete and steel used on your project.
We’ve built our testing and inspections around responsiveness and rapid turnaround, deploying fully equipped field technicians to provide the oversight you need, when you need it.
Our materials testing capabilities include:
- Soil
- Concrete
- Pavement Materials
- Reinforcing Steel, Structural Steel
- Masonry
- Property Condition Assessments
- Post Tension Inspections
- Soil Cement Mix Design
- Selective Building Envelope Construction Inspections
Forensics & Property Condition Assessments
Our Property Condition Assessment (PCA) service line (ASTM-E2018-24 Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments) provides clients with a clear, practical understanding of a property’s physical condition and long‑term needs. Geo-Hydro evaluates building systems, site features, and infrastructure to help owners and investors make informed decisions during acquisition, refinancing, asset planning, or capital budgeting.
In addition to evaluating visible components, Geo-Hydro incorporates broader asset‑risk considerations such as historical maintenance patterns, age and performance of systems, and how planned operations may impact future maintenance cycles. Our team assesses potential physical risks by considering construction type, wear patterns, observed deficiencies, and code‑related items that may influence long‑term planning.
Geo-Hydro differentiates its PCA services by combining multidisciplinary expertise drawn from environmental consulting, geotechnical engineering, and construction materials testing. This allows our team to recognize early indicators of subsurface or structural concerns that may not be visible during a standard walk‑through assessment. Our cross‑disciplinary capabilities also support clients navigating complex sites, older structures, or properties with environmental or geotechnical considerations that influence long‑term performance.
This integrated approach provides clients with decision‑ready information that supports budgeting, risk evaluation, operational planning, and long‑term stewardship of their assets.
Our PCA approach includes:
- Assessment of structural framing, building envelope, pavement, drainage, lighting, and site infrastructure.
- Review of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life‑safety, and conveyance systems to understand expected service life and anticipated repairs.
- General evaluation of Building Code, Fire Code, and Zoning requirements.
- Integration of maintenance documentation and facility history to identify recurring issues and aging patterns.
- Preparation of organized reports with clear prioritization of immediate repairs, short‑term needs, and long‑range planning reserve considerations.
- Support for clients seeking to understand deferred maintenance exposure within individual properties or across portfolios.
- Consideration of accessibility requirements and code‑related items, including ADA and FHAA‑related observations.
