Scope of Service
Our staff of licensed professional geologists are involved in a wide variety of engineering projects that assess the potential environmental impact that may exist on a property including facilities and on raw land. Our findings are used by funding sources to determine the viability of lending or investing in projects. The services we provide to Developers, Equity & Insurance firms range include investigating the potential for previous releases of a wide variety of contaminants. These contaminants include but are not limited to petroleum products, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and many other volatile and carcinogenic compounds.
Our engineering practice is national and Metropolitan Solutions has completed engineering projects in all 50 states. Our teams of geologists possess the highest recognized credential for this type of consulting.
We use Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIH) accredited by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene. This part of our practice encompasses all manner of indoor air quality including but not limited to asbestos, lead based paint, radon, and mold.
The engineering services provided by Metropolitan Solutions also embraces certain construction elements. Our team of Professional Engineers and Architects perform Property Condition Assessments (PCA’s) to determine the building and component conditions as well as life expectancy and estimated future costs. Our clients who are financial lenders need to be able to determine appropriate levels of cash reserves that are to be maintained because our assessments frequently require additional analysis, which includes seismic and structural investigations.
The strength of Metropolitan Solutions in these assessments is that we identify the existence of an issue, and we also make recommendations of options to address those issues including a cost benefit analysis that allows our clients to make the decision that will offer the best cost versus risk solution.
