Assessment Strategies for Urban Redevelopment & Land Clearing Projects Doug Dreiling, LRC July 18, 2017 1
MWCC 2017 Let’s Get Started! “The Point of the Spear”
MWCC 2017 Keys to Success • Understand the Comprehensive Project Goals (Awareness) • “Front-Ended” Environmental Due-Diligence Approach (Strategy) • Conduct the Comprehensive Assessment (Execution) • Innovate Specific to the Project Needs (Innovation)
MWCC 2017 Representative Projects to Discuss • Kansas City, Missouri – Power & Light Entertainment District • Oklahoma City, OK – Central Park Initiative (MAPS3 Upper Park) The projects had significantly different timelines, but the environmental objectives were the same.
MWCC 2017 Awareness • Owner Requirements, Scheduling, Sequencing & Key Project Milestones • How does environmental work dovetail with other trades and General Contractor requirements? • Expected Environmental Conditions (prior to assessment) • Identify Environmental “drivers” and Potential Project Constraints Integration in the Project Delivery Team
MWCC 2017 Strategy • Compress the due-diligence process (Phase I ESA, Phase II ESA, building surveys) • Act immediately on the “environmental drivers” & critical conditions • Design with the full project team in mind – what time & cost efficiencies can be gained with collaboration? • Coordinate early with environmental regulators as they are important partners in the process Eliminate Potential Problems Before they Develop!
MWCC 2017 Execution • Quickly obtain the “Priority Data” • Structures: Supporting Renovation & Demolition • Near-surface Soil: Facilitate Land-Clearing & Grading Activities • Subsurface Soil: New Construction & Excavation Areas • Waste Profiling: Disposal Authorizations for Soil & Construction Debris • Fluid Profiling: Disposal Authorizations for Groundwater & Surface Water • Hazard Communication: Include environmental information in bid specifications for general contractor. Get it Before You Need It!
MWCC 2017 Innovation • Environmental Technicians included in Construction Teams • Assess “on the fly” during the Construction Phase • Reuse of Materials – Natural and man-made Materials Advance the Objectives of the Developer “Time & Money”
MWCC 2017 Benefits of this Approach? “The Fully-Integrated Environmental Partner” • Provides a Solid Technical Foundation for the Project • Maintain or Accelerate the Overall Development Schedule • Avoid Construction-Phase Delays & Change Orders • Provides Methods to Save Your Client Money!
