State Infrastructure
Through our experience, we have learned that four critical components, if not addressed and managed effectively, can have significant impact on the schedule and budget for any public works project. These are:
- Environmental planning, compliance, and permitting
- Right-of-way property acquisition and management
- Utility relocation and management
- Community Acceptance
BEM has seen time and again the scope and complexity of these components substantially impair the capital project to reach construction. To streamline project execution, we have integrated environmental consulting and information management services into a “hybrid” organization that understands the project objectives, schedule, and budget requirements of public agencies. BEM has combined our core environmental services with custom applications that focuses on the environmental, right-of-way, and utilities from early planning to construction. This integrated approach captures the process with one time data entry of important milestones, activities, and costs in real time from project inception to completion to improve communication between various stakeholders and to reduce errors. Our services and solutions include:
