Geotechnology provided environmental, geotechnical subsurface exploration and geotechnical consulting services for the Mitsubishi Electric Power Products (MEPPI) manufacturing facility and connecting rail line. MEPPI’s new $207 million electric transformer manufacturing facility is on an approximately 150-acre site in south Memphis. The facility required rail connection to access nearby rail lines. Geotechnology conducted a subsurface exploration

Geotechnology conducted Environmental Engineering and comprehensive materials testing services for the quality assurance of the construction projects for the W–1W Lambert International Airport Expansion. This construction project cost an estimated $2.2 billion. The Airport Expansion was one of the largest construction projects in St. Louis history. The project area was approximately two square miles and

Geotechnology has implemented a Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) plan for construction of two utility coal ash landfill cells. This included CQA for base subgrade, compacted clay liner, geomembrane, geocomposite, leachate collection system, and protective cover. KC P&L Utility Waste Landfill Project Background Two acceptance reports were submitted to and approved by the Missouri Department of

Through an on-call contract, Geotechnology, Inc. performed asbestos and lead-based paint (LBP) surveys on a bridge in Jefferson County, MO. The structure was slated for demolition and replacement. These services consist of site surveys, material sampling of suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM). We also condust lead-based paint X-ray fluorescence (XRF) surveys and laboratory analysis of

During the Recession of 2008, many large industrial facilities closed operations and sat fallow, decreasing tax revenues for local economies. This includes the former Chrysler Assembly Plany in Fenton, MO. Industrial sites and vacant buildings like that represent opportunities for companies interested in reusing the land and/or buildings. Often, one of the biggest challenges to

The Holcim Monofill owner was decommissioning a concrete plant and had a concrete dust monofill on site that required closure within a short time period. It also required minimal maintenance while maintaining strict National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit restrictions. Holcim Monofill Closure Turf Field Project Background Steep slopes, limited soil resources, long term
