DRIVING RESULTS Our record of project results speaks to our approach and commitment to success.
Here are a few examples of our work.
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Historical contamination at a manufacturing facility
Who: Fortune 100 manufacturer
Project size: $4M
Result: Soil, gravel, water, and vapor mitigation at a 1,000,000 square foot manufacturing facility, in operation since the 1930s.
oodard & Curran managed environmental investigation and remediation to address soil, W groundwater, and vapor intrusion issues. Contamination from the facility threatened nearby residential neighborhoods. Woodard & Curran coordinated between local facility staff, residents, and regulators to ensure the project proceeded smoothly. Vapor mitigation systems were installed in several residences without incident or costly litigation.
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Waterfront brownfields reuse
Who: Fortune 100 pharmaceutical company
Project size: $15M
Result: Waterfront brownfield redeveloped into an office complex and coastal park
he City of Stamford, CT, a private developer, and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals hired Woodard T & Curran to serve as the prime in a design-build project to transform a waterfront brownfield into an 85,000-square-foot office complex and coastal wetland park. Woodard & Curran facilitated negotiations to develop and finalize a remediation program based on site-specific risk assessment and redevelopment plans. The end result was a cost-effective approach to revitalize an unused industrial property. The project won a Phoenix Award from the EPA and an Engineering Excellence Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Connecticut.
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Superfund site restoration Who: Fortune 100 manufacturer
Project size: $50M
Result: Flood-damaged superfund treatment system rebuilt on fast-track schedule
flood completely inundated this waterfront superfund site, destroying the existing treatment A system. Woodard & Curran was hired to provide site management, coordinating dozens of contractors and immediately stepping in to manage the recovery effort. Work included stabilizing an on-site waste impoundment damaged in the flood and implementing a new groundwater treatment system under a design-build-operate contract. The work was completed on an aggressive schedule and required extensive daily coordination with the client and regulators. Emergency management and restoration was so successful that a second storm-driven flood event failed to cause any substantial damage.
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Manufactured gas plant cleanup
Who: Energy utility
Project size: $15M
Result: Manufactured gas plant remediation closed out
Woodard & Curran investigated and defined the contamination at this former waterfront manufactured gas plant in New England and provided remediation design and construction monitoring. Cleanup required removal of debris and thousands of tons of tar-impacted soils, demolition of existing buildings, and installation of a pumping system to address water contamination. The remedial process for the site, which is in the middle of a bustling urban waterfront, has been successfully closed.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Human health and ecological risk assessment
Who: U.S. Department of Energy
Project size: $5M
Result: River sediment ecological and health concerns relieved
The Hanford Site is a 530-square-mile military reservation in Washington State that produced weapons-grade plutonium from the 1940s until the 1970s. Woodard & Curran performed human-health and ecological assessments of a 96-mile stretch of the Columbia River, which runs through the site. Woodard & Curran directed sampling efforts, analyzed more than 500,000 records, and engaged in public meetings and workshops with state and federal regulators, Native American tribes, and other stakeholders. Our reports were praised as among the most readable risk assessments project stakeholders had ever seen.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Liability and cost settlement Who: Various industries
Portfolio value: Over $11B
Result: Successful settlement and reserve setting
Woodard & Curran has expertise in all aspects of liability cost reservation and settlement/litigation support. We have provided settlement support for facilities across North America for some of the world’s largest corporations. From expert testimony in billion dollar court cases to quantifying environmental liability across dozens of sites to support property transfer and regulatory negotiations, Woodard & Curran has successfully handled assignments of all sizes.
DESIGN-BUILD Mine waste treatment Who: Mining company
Project size: $25M
Result: Wastewater treatment system eliminates compliance liability
Facing strict discharge limits on its wastewater, this mining company hired Woodard & Curran to implement a treatment system to remove heavy metals and meet tight toxicity requirements. Woodard & Curran worked closely with state regulators to permit a new treatment technology. Woodard & Curran conducted the project as a design-build contract to meet the project schedule and treatment goals.
DESIGN-BUILD Industrial waste treatment and water reuse system Who: Municipal utility
Project size: $120M
Result: Industrial waste treatment capacity attracts investment and jobs
The City of Victorville, CA had a vision for economic development at the California Logistics Airport and hired Woodard & Curran under a design-build-operate contract to build a combined sanitary and industrial wastewater treatment plant. The $120 million project was completed ahead of schedule and on budget and treats both sanitary wastewater and high-strength industrial wastewater to California’s strict water reuse standard.
