Webinar — Preventing Project Pitfalls: 5 Critical Assessments
2025-04-29 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago)
Every project site is unique, and each presents potential opportunities, challenges, and pitfalls. Before signing or moving any dirt, it’s essential to understand five key areas of acquisition due diligence that can mitigate risks, speed up time to investment, and ensure long-term site viability. With 60 years of experience on thousands of sites — and predictive analytics and visualization tools to speed the process — Terracon experts will provide an overview of five key assessment areas, including what to watch out for, lessons learned, and why each is essential:

Visualize development restrictions and potential red flags​

Identify permitting requirements and constraints​

Map out compliance with applicable regulations​

Uncover funding sources and recognize associated project impacts

Understand community relations and engagment

Risk management across the trenchless lifecycle

Terracon’s expert team helps you identify, assess, and mitigate risks on a trenchless project:

Identify Risks: Through smart exploration, we uncover potential issues including subsurface conditions, environmental impacts, and construction challenges.

Assess Risks: Combining our knowledge of your project’s risks and trenchless methods, we help you evaluate these risks’ likelihood and potential impact on a trenchless project.

Mitigate Risks: We recommend and implement strategies to minimize or eliminate the identified risks, such as using advanced geophysical methods and obtaining necessary environmental permits.

Railroad Crossings via Trenchless Methods

Jason Heinz, P.E., geotechnical services department manager

Tuesday, April 1, 10:00-10:25 a.m., 111/113 Colorado Convention Center

Our trenchless design solutions use geophysics to mitigate risk

Using advanced non-invasive geophysical and remote sensing screening methods to learn about your site’s subsurface helps determine the best approach for your trenchless project. We’re staffed with the most geophysical professionals and the largest fleet of near-surface equipment compared to competitors.

Our geophysics professionals are your best source for determining the best screening tools for your site and project. A few common methods include ground penetrating radar (GPR), light detection and ranging (LiDAR), 2D electrical resistivity, and seismic refraction. Geophysical and remote sensing screening tools can be especially helpful for sites covering many acres or those with challenging terrain or continuous traffic.

Terracon’s trenchless engineering experts have a deep understanding of geological conditions and the risks they present with various trenchless methods. They’re experienced in providing trenchless evaluations and detailed designs for horizontal direction drilling (HDD), microtunneling, and pipe jacking, to name a few. They have successfully delivered projects in rural, suburban, and urban areas with complex geologies, high traffic, and environmental considerations.

Trenchless Services

Our environmental planning & permitting services ease project delivery

Terracon is more than a geotechnical firm. We have a national environmental practice with depth, experience, and relationships to guide you through federal and local regulatory processes.

Assisting trenchless design clients with federal and local permitting for site development is one of our specialties. Other services include Phase I ESAs, wetland delineations, threatened and endangered species surveys, cultural resource services, erosion and sediment control plans, and stormwater management plans.

The requirements under NEPA can present an obstacle to developing trenchless design projects but are not difficult to navigate with an experienced team. We have a deep bench of practitioners who have navigated this process – we’ll make it easier for you.

Roundtable Discussion
Expectations of the HUD NEPA Process
Friday, May 31, 2024 – 11 a.m. | Reunion Ballroom B
Panelists: Jennifer Peters, Environmental Program Manager; Katherine Zayas, Senior Scientist; Kelly Warner, U.S. Housing and Urban Development – Region VI Field Environmental Officer

Preparing an Environmental Review Record can be a multi-step process. The steps are dependent upon the action and location. Imagine a federally-funded public housing facility requires renovations and a new parking lot; however the property is now located within a floodplain. The project does not directly impact the floodplain with the construction of housing. Funds can be used to renovate the building, though a covenant or land use restriction on the floodplain would be required. How does one navigate this?

During the course of the session, three NEPA practitioners who complete National Environmental Policy Act Environmental Review Records will share practical lessons learned concerning frequent resources impacted and mitigation strategies, expectations of schedules, and pitfalls. Learn more.
