Quality Assurance and Quality Control
For clients throughout the DOE complex, for multiple program offices, and commercial firms working in the nuclear industry, we apply more than 1,300 person-years of nuclear experience to develop, implement, and review quality assurance and quality control programs.
Performance and Contractor Assurance
In cooperation with DOE clients, we design contractor assurance systems that identify risks, establish metrics, and find and correct negative performance trends before they become an issue. To do this, we employ rigorous self-assessment and strong parent-company assessment mechanisms, focusing roles and responsibilities to improve communication and deliver results.
Issues Management and Corrective Action Systems
To develop and implement issues management and corrective action systems, issues identified during operations or assessments must be captured, communicated, and assigned ownership. We manage these issues, and the identified corrective actions, in support of effective assurance systems and learning organizations.
Organization Effectiveness, Measures, and Risk Management
To achieve mission excellence, clients need effective and risk-informed strategies. We use performance evaluation tools, including performance-based metrics and intuitive trending to improve effectiveness and manage risk.

Geosyntec provides a wealth of experience and expertise in environmental planning management to help clients achieve superior environmental, health, and safety performance. With a diverse portfolio of services, Geosyntec improves public and private sector clients’ environmental, health, and safety performance; manages risk; and reduces environmental liabilities consistent with their financial and stewardship goals.
