Project Summary

Floyd|Snider works closely with the property owner to review historical materials and perform site characterization activities to identify the extent of contamination prior to construction.

This close coordination facilitates detailed planning of excavation and disposal. During construction, we work within the overall building construction schedule to deliver remediation projects that do not delay construction and minimize additional expenses for remediation. Our strategic approach to Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) coordination helps ensure that contaminated properties will receive No Further Action designation after construction.
