Real Estate Site Assessment & Remediation
 

Specializing in the integration of geology and geophysics to solve groundwater and land-use problems; Experienced in property assessment and site remediation for the business and banking community.

AA&E has conducted literally hundreds of site assessments to help potential buyers and mortgagees make purchasing decisions. Our personnel started with the industry in 1985, and have been onboard through the changing priorities of private enterprise, environmental regulation, public policy, and accrediting authorities. One aspect that has remained consistent throughout is our understanding of the scientific principles and applications that are the technical basis for site assessment.

One of our unique capabilities is our in-house accredited laboratory. AA&E can provide clients with timely analytical data to differentiate between minor contamination and impacts that warrant genuine regulatory concern. Our in-house laboratory will provide the assurance you need, in a customized manner, without unnecessary wait, miscommunications, and the aggravation often associated with sending samples to an outside lab for analysis.

We are proud to be one of the first in the area to apply geophysical techniques to sinkhole characterization, the drilling of high-yield water wells, and the structural configuration of the subsurface. Personnel at AA&E completed the second Act 2 project approved by the northeast region of the PA DEP in 1995, and have had extensive experience with Act 2 since that time.

Finally, in addition to expertise in applied science, our staff maintains proficiency in the legal aspects of conducting site assessments by regular participation in ASTM training courses, professional organizations, and industry or regulatory seminars.
