Start your site selection and project informed

Getting a good idea of a site’s geotechnical and environmental conditions quickly is vital in estimating project schedule, budget, and risk. This information helps decision-makers know whether to go forward with a site and take smart next steps in their project planning.

Stage1, Terracon’s proprietary desktop study, delivers this actionable site analysis in about a week—saving you months or years, lots of headaches, and potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s completely remote, allowing you to compare multiple sites side by side and get in front of site challenges without anyone setting foot on your site.

Stage1 site selection study features

  • A top-level summary of anticipated geotechnical, subsurface environmental, cultural, wetlands/waters, and federal protected species conditions and constraints
  • Tables of detailed considerations prepared and reviewed by local and national Terracon subject matter experts (engineers, environmental planners, ecologists, biologists, cultural resource practitioners)
  • A Smart Work Plan with recommended next steps to confirm findings and expedite your project development
  • An interactive, online platform, Compass, with filtering tools and additional GIS layers to customize and view data in real time

The Stage1 report fills a gap in due diligence information that is critical when determining which site will move forward in the selection process.
