Selected engagements.
Representative projects that demonstrate CE3's integrated approach across disciplines, sectors, and geographies.
Multi-Site Remediation Program
Challenge
A Fortune 500 manufacturer faced legacy contamination across multiple operating facilities — with regulatory agency pressure mounting, remediation costs spiraling, and no unified strategy tying the sites together. Each facility had been managed independently, creating duplicated effort, inconsistent approaches, and growing liability exposure.
Outcome
$2.3M in avoided remediation costs through optimized, risk-based strategies — with multiple sites advancing to regulatory closure on an accelerated timeline.
Federal NEPA Compliance Acceleration
Challenge
A major federal infrastructure project was at risk of missing its congressional funding window. The NEPA documentation process — typically the longest lead-time item on federal projects — was behind schedule and under-resourced. A delay meant not just lost time, but potentially lost appropriations.
Outcome
40% reduction in the permitting timeline versus the original projection — securing environmental clearance in time to preserve the project's funding authorization.
Brownfield-to-Mixed-Use Redevelopment
Challenge
A contaminated former industrial property stood between a developer and a $180M mixed-use project. The site had a complex contamination history, unresolved regulatory status, and no clear pathway to closure — making it functionally un-financeable.
Outcome
Regulatory closure achieved. $180M mixed-use development moved forward with zero environmental delays — transforming a liability into one of the region's most significant redevelopment projects.
International Environmental Assessment Program
Challenge
A multilateral development organization needed comprehensive environmental assessments across multiple project sites in the Middle East and North Africa to satisfy environmental safeguard requirements for over $500M in development financing — spanning diverse regulatory environments, multiple languages, and tight disbursement timelines.
Outcome
Environmental clearance secured across all project sites, enabling over $500M in development financing to proceed on schedule. No environmental safeguard conditions were triggered post-disbursement.
Aerospace Facility HSE Transformation
Challenge
A defense aerospace manufacturer needed to overhaul its Health, Safety & Environmental management system to achieve ISO 14001 certification — without disrupting active production lines. The existing HSE programs were fragmented, under-documented, and reactive. The facility's leadership had a deadline driven by a major customer requirement: certify or risk losing a contract.
Outcome
ISO 14001 certification achieved in 8 months. Waste disposal costs reduced by 35% through the waste minimization program implemented as part of the new management system.
PFAS Investigation & Response
Challenge
PFAS were detected at an energy sector facility during routine groundwater monitoring. With EPA enforcement tightening and state-level PFAS standards diverging rapidly, the client faced a complex regulatory landscape. A previous consultant's conservative, worst-case remediation approach had priced the response at over $4M.
Outcome
$4M in savings versus the previous consultant's estimate. A targeted, agency-approved response plan replaced a blanket remediation approach — reducing cost, shortening the timeline, and delivering a defensible outcome.
