When an environmental emergency happens, every second counts. Pinnacle Engineering functions as an extension of your team during these unpredictable events, providing 24/7 environmental emergency response services and comprehensive regulatory support.
After receiving your call, our experienced responders, engineers, and scientists arrive on site and work with your team to quickly develop a “Common Operating Picture” that guides environmental response efforts. We secure all applicable permitting and work with your team and regulatory agencies to ensure successful site cleanup and remediation.
We are an OSRO-Classified environmental engineering consultant specializing in railroad and pipeline incidents. We also support oil and gas producers by working with insurance companies for the assessment, response, and cleanup of transportation incidents and emergency spills at production and storage facilities.
Our goal is to continue to build upon our reputation of delivering high-quality services, maintaining open and responsive communications, and providing cost-effective solutions that consistently meet our client’s needs.
Our emergency response services range from response management to environmental site assessments and consulting services. We coordinate clean-up efforts and serve as a regulatory interface. Even after the emergency is over, we continue to support you by providing project management, environmental remediation, and hazardous waste management services until the site is fully remediated.
Our assessments encompass a wide range of factors, including threatened and endangered species, wetlands, waterways, soil, and other areas that require restoration expertise. With comprehensive knowledge of Fate and Transport modeling of environmental contaminants, NRDA support, SCAT (shoreline cleanup and assessment), and mass balance calculation methodologies, Pinnacle offers robust support throughout the entirety of the incident.
Obtaining the necessary permits is crucial in an environmental emergency. We provide highly focused assistance by securing permits for air, water, and waste management as required by local, state, and/or federal regulatory agencies.
With our rapid response capabilities and in-depth understanding of permit requirements, we prepare the required documents and serve as your regulatory representative, ensuring prompt and accurate permit acquisition.
We specialize in the comprehensive sampling of diverse environmental media, including surface water, soil, air, groundwater, and waste. Our technical expertise in sampling collection and analysis ensures the delivery of accurate and reliable data. With extensive experience in developing sampling plans, employing effective methods, and preservation techniques.
Since 2017, Pinnacle Engineering has been providing emergency response and remedial field services at our outset and has met the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Oil Spill Removal Organization (OSRO) Classification Guidelines. Our 24/7 environmental emergency response services for oil spills include FRP Preparation, GRP Response Plans, Exercise Development, Site-Specific Training, Environmental Engineering, Investigation & Remediation, UAS Services, and more.
As your 24/7 response partner, our team is the first on scene and the last to leave after site restorations are complete. Our environmental engineers are skilled at working with regulatory agencies, landowners, and communities affected by environmental events. Pinnacle’s knowledge, expertise, and experiences ensure your best interests are represented while also working towards environmental restoration and the health and safety of those impacted by the incident.
We support your organization during environmental emergencies by providing financial management, resource procurement, materials management, subcontractor management, and essential resource acquisition. The extensive experience of our team ensures streamlined operations during emergency response situations. We go beyond simply completing the job at hand to ensure that you are well-prepared and positioned for long-term success, mitigating any potential impacts long after the emergency has been resolved.
Our waste management services include handling, characterization, profiling, transportation, and disposal. We prioritize waste minimization, sustainability, and recycling options whenever viable and actively explore opportunities for beneficial reuse to reduce the overall environmental impact of the incident.
