ASK ABOUT OUR ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

Environmental Engineering


  • We create safe environments for buildings and the people in them.
  • The best way to avoid environmental risks is to see them coming. RMA GeoScience solves pollution problems before they happen.

The biggest responsibility of any site owner or project manager is to protect the safety of the people who live, work, and play on their property. At RMA GeoScience, we know the biggest responsibility of our environmental engineering team is to support that effort by identifying and eliminating hazardous materials that threaten health and safety, and by advising owners of potential liabilities.

What is environmental engineering?


In short, environmental engineering uses scientific disciplines such as chemistry, soil science, mathematics, hydraulics, and biology to solve environmental problems. To prevent dangerous biological or chemical contaminants from infiltrating our soil, air, and water, environmental engineers must have both an extensive understanding of potential pollutants as well as the agricultural or industrial mechanisms that could cause their release into our surroundings.

What types of sites require environmental engineering?


Just a few of many include dams, refineries, municipal drinking and wastewater treatment facilities, new buildings, desalination plants and construction sites that generate or remove building materials waste. Environmental engineers devise systems to deal safely with hazardous waste at these and many other sites. Less obvious environmental engineering applications include noise pollution control and mathematical modeling for computer risk-assessment systems.

How does environmental engineering reduce risks at such sites?


Primarily – and ideally – through prevention, but also by providing plans and resources to address hazardous waste mishaps when they do happen. Environmental engineering includes the study, inspection, and testing of proposed building sites for existing hazardous materials, as well as the project’s potential impact on its immediate surroundings, ensuring construction doesn’t result in the spread of hazardous waste or air- and waterborne diseases. They also ensure developers are compliant with the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations, and help companies prepare containment and remedial action plans that are ready to deploy in the event of a hazardous waste accident.

What environmental services does RMA GeoScience offer?


RMA GeoScience’s environmental engineers are industry experts with decades of experience in environmental study, testing, solutions, and compliance. Our services include asbestos, lead, soil, methane, and groundwater testing, Phase I & II assessments, litigation support, and removal action work plans. From inspection and testing to removal and remediation, RMA GeoScience partners with clients throughout the building cycle, ensuring their waste disposal, recycling, anti-pollution, and public health programs run smoothly, safely, and effectively.
