West Virginia Society for Healthcare Engineering

The gap between choosing a project site and beginning construction can be filled with questions about the potential impact of contaminants, studying and addressing the presence of historical and cultural resources, or planning for future operational use. These challenges are distinct from each other, but the path to the right solutions is the same - and starts here. 

Terracon's national network of professionals helps you navigate each of these challenges and more, so they won't detour you on the path to construction.

Here's how we clear the way

Building Environmental Sciences (BES)
Some buildings stand - make yours stand the test of time

Hazardous and regulated building materials - such as asbestos, lead-based paint, and others - pose serious risks to the health of people and project schedules alike if they're not properly identified and understood.

Blending environmental science, program management, and engineering expertise to improve building systems performance, we help make your occupants safer and your investments perform like a dream. Here's how.

Archaeology and Historical Resources
Science, teamwork, and care combine on special project

Terracon archaeologists recently traveled to Germany to participate in the recovery investigation for a B-17 crew member missing since a 1944 mission. 

Here at home, our cultural resource teams bring the same expertise to help clients nationwide plan for federal, state, and local compliance requirements to support project success and preserve our shared history.
