BEM is keenly aware that transportation agencies face a wide range of environmental challenges through the different phases of project scope, engineering design, right-of-way acquisition and construction. Designing efficient but holistic environmental programs is therefore essential to assist transportation agencies in meeting their objectives during the development of complex infrastructure projects, maintaining or rehabilitating existing infrastructure, or simply delivering transportation services that promote environmental stewardship and sustainability.

Whether for highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, seaports or rail systems, BEM supports our clients with a full range of environmental services. These services seamlessly integrate Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), site investigations, remedial designs, property valuations and construction management phases within the transportation projects BEM is experienced in developing environmental best management practices to reduce waste generation and improve pollution prevention.

BEM is proud of having achieved several "firsts" in the industry, including:

• Development of the first property acquisition environmental cost estimate concept, "PAECE", since adopted by several transportation agencies;
• First regulatory acceptance of immunoassay field screening techniques for emergency cleanup and site restoration, and
• First regulatory acceptance of a 20-mile corridor as one project site representing a savings to the client of more than $15 million.
