Infrastructure Construction

AECS provided construction management and environmental compliance support for the installation of telecommunications infrastructure through an environmentally sensitive corridor.

Scope of Work

• Pre-construction environmental assessment and permit review
• Coordination with Army Corps of Engineers regarding wetland avoidance requirements
• Development of an Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) for the construction corridor
• Implementation of erosion and sediment controls per NPDES requirements
• Environmental inspection of construction activities during active work
• Oversight of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) operations at stream and wetland crossings
• Monitoring for inadvertent returns during HDD operations
• Post-construction site restoration and re-vegetation of disturbed areas
• Final environmental compliance documentation and permit closeout

Results

The telecommunications infrastructure was successfully installed with no reportable environmental incidents. All required permits were maintained in good standing throughout construction.
