ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS MANAGEMENT
|
Development of
commercial or industrial property is complicated beyond the
logistics of standard procurement and construction procedures.
Unfamiliar regulations and potentially litigious situations
present impediments to successful, on-budget and
on-schedule completion.
We provide comprehensive management of environmental affairs,
from baseline |
 |
environmental or subsurface studies, site characterization,
archeological survey, geotechnical investigations, and UST or
soil removal or remediation. Globeteck's hands-on approach, as
well as periodically assessing the progress and direction of the
project, assures that the scope of work stays on track. |

ASBESTOS/LEAD-BASED PAINT ABATEMENT &
MANAGEMENT
|
|
|
Globeteck successfully guides its clients through a virtual
maze of national and local regulatory requirements. Such clients
are typically government, public and private concerns, abatement
contractors, painters, and general contractors who have
undertaken renovation projects where ASBESTOS-CONTAINING
MATERIALS (ACM) or LEAD-BASED PAINT (LBP) must be disturbed.
Other aspects include: providing cost projections for removal,
encapsulation or enclosure, writing specifications, soliciting
bids from reputable abatement contractors and acting as owner's
agent during removal. Should the decision be made to leave
ACM
|
|
|
|
or LBP in place, we will develop
and implement Operation & Maintenance Plans.

PROPERTY
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS
|
|
|
Globeteck conducts property Environmental Assessments using
the industry-standard four (4) phase approach and in compliance
with the ASTM Standards. Particular attention is directed to
historical uses of the property and the presence of: ACM and LBP,
hazardous chemical materials and wastes, petroleum product
contamination, polychlorinated biphenyl's (PCB's), underground
storage tanks (UST's), soil and water contamination.
Should an environmental concern be identified in either a
Transaction Screen or Phase I Environmental Assessment, Globeteck
will recommend a Phase II Environmental Assessment to quantify
the extent and qualify the degree of the
|
|
|
problem. Techniques that have been successful in identifying
contamination include: soil and ground water sampling analysis,
bulk material sampling and analysis for asbestos, paint chip
sampling and analysis for lead content, PCB location,
identification, and sampling if required for identification,
sampling soil and water for analysis of fossil fuels, pesticide
sampling and analysis, herbicide sampling and analysis, and other
regulated metal sampling and analysis, as well as additional
sophisticated analytical procedures.
Depending upon the anticipated use for the property, a Phase
III study which addresses remediation procedures, may be
recommended.

and materials, often overlooked, are the first step in obtaining
accurate field data. Globeteck's field personnel have extensive
experience in collecting and handling various types of samples
for laboratory analysis, such as; soil, air,
|
surface water, ground water, paint
chips, and building materials.Globeteck also conducts on-site,
real time field analysis of soil and water contamination,
