Nationwide Environmental Engineering Services

How Environmental Engineering Consultations Benefit You

At GeoKinetics, our goal is not only to create a plan that allows your construction project to move forward through its development phases, but also to support the people who will utilize it. Urban development is more than just building roads and homes – it’s about building a rapport that the community can trust.

 

Our environmental engineering team will help you optimize the following for a healthy and sustainable development site:

 

  • Water quality, including wastewater and stormwater management
  • Air quality
  • Resource conservation
  • Minimize environmental disruption 
  • Solid and hazardous waste management

By addressing the above, you increase your structure’s ability to withstand the climate and terrain.

Our Approach to Environmental Engineering

Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Systems

Vapor intrusion occurs when chemical vapors from soil or groundwater enter buildings through foundation cracks and utility penetrations. We design and install mitigation systems—like sub-slab depressurization or vapor barriers—to block these pathways and ensure safe indoor air. Our custom solutions meet current regulatory guidance and align with the specific needs of your site.

Broad Geotechnical Consulting

Partner with our geotechnical engineering experts for specialized guidance on soil conditions and foundation challenges. We work closely with clients to develop cost-effective and reliable solutions for their geotechnical needs.

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment

A Phase I ESA is the first step in identifying potential or existing environmental contamination on a property. We conduct thorough site inspections, historical reviews, and regulatory database research to evaluate environmental risks. This assessment helps protect property buyers, developers, and lenders from liability and informs smart, risk-conscious decisions.

Phase II Environmental Site Assessment

When a Phase I ESA reveals potential concerns, a Phase II ESA digs deeper. We collect and analyze soil, groundwater, and vapor samples to confirm the presence or absence of contamination. Our team designs each investigation to meet regulatory standards while providing clear, actionable results to guide your next steps.

Commercial Radon Mitigation

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can pose serious health risks when trapped inside buildings. Our team designs and implements commercial radon mitigation systems tailored to the structure and site conditions. Whether it’s a new development or an existing building, we ensure compliance with state and federal guidelines while prioritizing occupant safety and indoor air quality.

How Your Site Can Benefit from Environmental Engineering Consultations

Every site and project tells a different story. Each design we work on reflects that. From vapor intrusion to soil stability, we create custom plans that change environmental challenges into development opportunities.
Structural Safety
Proper evaluation of subsurface conditions prevents costly structural failures, uneven settling, and foundational issues. Your design will be tailored to your site's actual conditions, not assumptions.
Cost Efficiency
Early detection of soil or groundwater issues avoids expensive change orders or construction delays. With targeted recommendations, you can minimize overdesign and focus resources where they’re needed most.
Risk Management
We identify and help mitigate natural hazards such as landslides, soil liquefaction, or expansive clay—especially important in earthquake-prone regions like California and Oklahoma.
Regulatory Compliance
Our reports and analyses meet or exceed federal and local requirements (including LADBS), helping streamline the permit process and reduce project risk.

Our Comprehensive Process

At GeoKinetics, we combine scientific precision with real-world construction knowledge. We begin every project by learning your goals and constraints—budget, schedule, site history, and development plans—so we can align our investigation with what matters most.
