Consulting
Risk and Liability Evaluation
Unfortunately, some sites have historical impact and financial liability associated with an environmental issue. Failing to consider the historical use of a site prior to the acquisition puts the purchaser at risk; this includes issues associated with contamination / health risks, financial liabilities, and restricted property uses. We provide clients with the advanced knowledge and sound planning required to limit liability and any unexpected costs associated with environmental issues.

Data and Graphics Management
Environmental Alliance, Inc. is on the cutting edge of environmental data management. Field and analytical data that are collected during a project are imported into EQuIS, one of the most widely used environmental data management software systems in the world. This software effectively provides a common foundation for all Alliance staff, contractors, and laboratories involved in the data collection, processing, management, and evaluation aspects of environmental project work. The use of this data management software translates into reduced data handling time, reduced errors in data reporting and reduced client costs.
In addition to the benefits of efficient data management, EQuIS provides a suite of integrated applications that promotes the easy export of data into a variety of useful formats and file types. This allows the Alliance data management team to swiftly create tables, charts, and graphs, as well as files appropriate for modeling efforts and visualization. Project data can easily be mapped from the database using the ArcMap Geographic Information System (GIS) extension. This tool provides flexibility to display project analytics results of all kinds on a local site map or on a regional level. Map layers such as aerial photography, topography, hydrological features and boundaries can be incorporated to produce eye-catching, informative and accurate report maps.
