How We Do It

What happened? What’s at risk? You will need to determine the cause and sort out the details. The faster the better. You’ll want to understand what is possible and what it will cost. Are there risks and growing liabilities from hazardous material exposure? You need an environmental investigator. That’s what we do.

We quickly move to establish a relationship with claimants and regulators. Your interests are at stake, and creating a good first impression is critical. We determine what the requirements are and begin an informed conversation with our project team. Many things are negotiable, but not from a position of ignorance or weakness.

The environmental services industry has matured. There are many good service providers employing very qualified people. However companies change and key people move on. What was formerly a good team may not be so today. We help you find the best people.

We know how to evaluate key elements of quality service. Working in the scientific, engineering, emergency response and construction industries is our business, and we know what to look for Then we follow up with clear specifications and inspections. We audit contractors to determine whether they can deliver their advertised services.

Tell us what you want to create, and we help you plan the process. From concept, to bidding, and into site management, we do it all. Think of 1E as your personal environmental manager without the long-term overhead.

We are free to build a custom team to meet your project needs, and no more. With no staff of project level engineers, scientists, or responders to maintain we have no financial incentive to use anything less than the best. Our business is improved management.

We interpret the process so you don’t have to. If you already have a service provider on-board, let us help you to understand the often confusing technical issues and regulatory requirements. It’s our business, so we stay up to date on regulations and industry standards. We’ll help you to get your best outcome.

We are team builders, and therefore team players. We work to generate the horsepower to get the job done. Then we make sure everyone understands and pulls for the goals.

We specialize in projects that bring together a diverse group of disciplines. Many of our jobs include non-environmental professionals from the insurance, legal, construction, and land development disciplines. We help de-mystify the process and provide value-added management that integrates the entire team.

We are technologically adapted. Need a digital report with photos delivered quickly? Need daily updates? No problem. We also offer digital video, edited and reduced to a DVD or VHS for viewing or archiving. An informed client is a client in control.

We create and maintain connections. Good communication with impacted parties, concerned citizens, contractors, and regulators can often pay huge dividends to the eventual project costs. We work hard to develop open lines of communication and then maintain that communication to project completion.
