The New England Branch Designs an Off-grid Water Supply for a School in Rural Liberia
In Spring 2014, a group of volunteers from Geosyntec’s New England Branch began designing an off-grid water supply system for a school in rural Liberia. The project arose through the vision of a group of Liberian refugees who had relocated to Providence, Rhode Island and wanted to build a school near the village they had to leave behind during the Liberian Civil War.
Mike Kavanaugh and Doug Larson to Teach Upcoming Sessions of the Princeton Groundwater Hydrology Course
In 2016, Mike Kavanaugh (California) and Doug Larson (Massachusetts) will once again serve as instructors for the Princeton Groundwater Hydrology Course, a one-week course that comprehensively covers groundwater hydrology and contaminant fate and transport from theory to practice.
Specialized In Situ Treatment Technologies
Geosyntec is an industry leader in remediating difficult-to-treat environmental impacts to soil, groundwater, and sediments through the use of specialized in situ techniques. Our practitioners are adept at expediting site investigations, optimizing remediation solutions, and accelerating site closure through a wide range of innovative technology applications. Our expertise in the implementation of new, emerging, and conventional technologies allows our practitioners to frequently bridge the gap between the development and first-to-field stages of environmental solutions. Our expertise and industry leadership in the advanced application of microbiology-based solutions for the remediation of recalcitrant contaminants in soil and groundwater has established Geosyntec’s solutions as the preferred method, especially for sites with proven resistant to conventional remediation technologies or when compared to the comparatively high costs for the application of physical and chemical technologies that achieve similar results. Two of Geosyntec’s affiliated companies provide specialized services and technologies regarding in situ treatments:
Groundwater Assessment and Remediation
Geosyntec’s expertise in efficient site characterization, including sites that exhibit complex groundwater-flow regimes, has distinguished our firm as a leader in groundwater assessment and groundwater remediation. Our practitioners address a broad suite of contaminants, including metals, chlorinated organic chemicals, petroleum hydrocarbons, and emerging contaminants, and use award-winning, technology-based remediation strategies that are often first-to-field. Many of our hydrogeologists specialize in modeling the fate and transport of contaminants through the most difficult types of media, including fractured and karst bedrock.
Overview of Environmental Planning and Management
Our clients understand environmental and occupational safety and health risk management is a vital component of maintaining overall operational excellence. Geosyntec's environmental management team builds compliance solutions, distinguishes between potential and actual environmental risks, and develops strategies to decrease energy and water utilization. Environmental and health & safety (EH&S) management system support services benefit our private and public sector clients who are committed to achieving high standards of EH&S performance and compliance. We develop documented management systems that allow our clients to identify, prioritize, and manage more efficiently the potential EH&S risks associated with their operations using a plan, do, check, act framework to ensure continuous program improvement. With a diverse portfolio of services, Geosyntec improves public and private sector clients' environmental and health and safety performance; manage risk; and reduce environmental liabilities consistent with their financial and stewardship goals. Our compliance, permitting, and auditing specialists have technical expertise across a broad range of disciplines. Accordingly, we are able to help our clients by proactively identifying compliance obligations and opportunities to improve their compliance record. Geosyntec practitioners specialize in solving complex challenges of occupational safety and industrial hygiene that affect workplace operations, staff comfort and productivity, or occupant health. Addressing such challenges involves the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of known risks and emerging hazards in the workplace. Our practitioners conduct assessments using the sound scientific principles and practices of industrial hygiene, public health, and toxicology. We provide comprehensive Process Safety Management (PSM) and Risk Management Program (RMP) services to meet our clients' needs as they relate to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) 29 CFR 1910.119 PSM Standard and the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 40 CFR Part 68 RMP. The standards require the development and implementation of a system of procedures aimed at preventing accidental releases of hazardous chemicals from subject processes. All levels of an organization can benefit from our assistance in managing the daily aspects of its operations through development of environmental management systems, compliance programs and procedures, and regulatory research and applicability assessments. We accomplish this by implementing tools in a plan-do-check-act framework to ensure continuous program improvement.
