Returning our nation's abandoned industrial properties to productive use is the underlying goal of the Brownfields movement. However, it takes more than good intentions to successfully turn an environmentally impacted site into a revenue-generating property. Birdsall Engineering, Inc. (BEI) has been at the forefront of adaptive reuse projects long before the term "Brownfields" was conceived. Our experience in both environmental and infrastructure development gives us a unique perspective on the challenges of remediating and redeveloping these sites. We approach redevelopment projects from three directions: environmental, engineering and financial. Our in-house specialists look at the project in terms of time, cost and feasibility. Using this approach provides our clients with realistic options for achieving their redevelopment objectives.
