Environmental Services
At BEM, we’re passionate about providing top-notch environmental, engineering, and information management services to federal, state, and local government agencies. Our expertise spans environmental planning and compliance, remediation, and the management of natural and water resources.
What really makes BEM special is our use of innovative “smart” tools. These tools help us efficiently gather, organize, and process various data sources, allowing our clients to make informed decisions quickly. We like to think of ourselves as a “Hybrid Organization”—we blend our environmental, scientific, and engineering knowledge with the latest in data management and visualization technology.
Our Services division focuses on environmental consulting, while our Solutions division highlights the unique software products we’ve created. Our clients appreciate the way we bring these two areas together to offer comprehensive support.
Our Environmental planning and compliance strength lie in monitoring regulatory developments on our client’s behalf and anticipating the likely response options for meeting their environmental obligations. We have developed methods for streamlining the NEPA-approval process for executing Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Statements, partnering effectively with state, federal and NGO stakeholders, especially on behalf of state transportation agencies; the Department of Defense and State and Regional Water Resource Departments.
Our remediation approach couples our in-depth knowledge of regulatory compliance and risk-based decision making, with our experience in the implementation of proven and innovative remediation technologies. Our understanding of each state’s regulatory requirements and the limits to which technology can be deployed allows us to assume the risks for delivering our solutions within a fixed price and schedule.
Our Natural and Water Resources Group understands the ecological interrelationships between the physical and biological worlds. As federal, state and local governments are embarking on new challenges in managing natural and water resources to meet conflicting demands of flood protection, water supply, sea-level rise, and ecosystem restoration, BEM has developed comprehensive services to support collaborative, science-based research in biology, ecology, and water resources. Over the past 15 years, we have been at the forefront of restoration activities for the South Florida Everglades and Coastal Louisiana.
