Bridging the Gap from Site Selection to Construction

Solutions to prepare to break ground

The gap between choosing a project site and beginning construction can be filled with questions about the potential impact of contaminants, studying and addressing the presence of historical and cultural resources, or planning for future operational use. These challenges are distinct from each other, but the path to the right solutions is the same – and starts here.

Terracon’s national network of professionals helps you navigate each of these challenges and more, so they won’t detour you on the path to construction. Here’s how we clear the way.


Building Environmental Sciences (BES)

Some buildings stand – make yours stand the test of time

Hazardous and regulated building materials – such as asbestos, lead-based paint, and others – pose serious risks to the health of people and project schedules alike if they’re not properly identified and understood.

Blending environmental science, program management, and engineering expertise to improve building systems performance, we help make your occupants safer and your investments perform like a dream. Here’s how.
