Engineering
MECX’s team of professional engineers, geologists and scientists design and execute projects in a timely and cost-effective manner to bring the best value to our clients. Our engineering services include:
- Engineering design;
- Construction management;
- Environmental compliance; and
- Vapor and groundwater mitigation.
Engineering Design
A thorough and comprehensive set of plans and specifications are essential to developing a uniform understanding between development owners, lenders, designers and contractors prior to the commencement of construction. MECX
engineers are experienced in preparing design plans and specifications for a wide variety of projects, ranging from environmental remediation/construction to civil projects. MECX
engineers are registered professional engineers in most states throughout the country.
Construction Management
MECX
provides comprehensive construction management consulting services for federal, state and local governmental agencies, as well as our commercial clients. Our team possess a diverse skill set within engineering and construction. We know how to anticipate, identify and resolve complex challenges associated with a multitude of projects.
Environmental Compliance
MECX’s environmental compliance team has vast regulatory knowledge and experience in environmental, safety and construction laws. This includes the increasingly complex federal, state and local environmental, safety and construction laws and permit requirements. Our professionals remain current with evolving regulations to ensure that our clients manage and comply with applicable regulations thereby providing proactive risk management. Our experience covers an extensive spectrum of sectors, some of which include:
- Multimedia environmental compliance audits
- Air quality permits
- Waste minimization and management plans
- Environmental health and safety (EHS) management and compliance
- Storage tank compliance, permits and management
- Spill contingency planning and resource protection
- Stormwater discharge evaluations and permitting (NPDES, etc.)
- Water supply compliance and permitting
- Construction permitting
- Compliance reporting and training
Vapor and Groundwater Mitigation
Vapor intrusion has become a significant environmental issue for property owners, regulators, building designers and residents. Vapor intrusion can occur when contaminants present in nearby affected soil/groundwater volatilize and migrate towards buildings. These mobile vapors can migrate through penetrations (i.e., cracks, openings, pipe chases, etc.) in a building envelope and adversely affect indoor air for the building inhabitants. These concerns apply to residential and commercial buildings.
The high price of real estate in most metropolitan areas has resulted in vertical development, whereby developers seek to maximize the use of land. The vertical developments can include subsurface structures and/or parking levels that are subject to groundwater infiltration, which can have detrimental effects on the intended use and possibly the integrity of the structures.
MECX
offers unique and cost-effective engineered vapor intrusion and groundwater management systems to provide protection to the building inhabitants and structures of our client’s developments. We can design systems that can be constructed during initial construction of a development or retrofit systems that can be installed in existing structures. MECX
engineers tailor each system to the unique characteristics and operational goals for a development. Our systems are energy efficient and have proven performance with an extensive track record.
