Structural Integrity Inspection for Construction Defects, Foundation Failures, and Seismic Hazards Determinations, plus Repair,  Reinforcement,  Restoration, and  Reconstruction Services by Civil Engineers and Other Scientists and Engineers

^also mines of other elements, including Copper, Diamonds, Gold, Iron, Nickel, Platinum, Silver, and Uranium

 

Charles B. Pyke, Ph.D., President, CEO, and Principal Scientist of  Environmental Science & Energy, Inc., offers structural integrity inspections for the determination of construction defects, foundation failures, and seismic hazards in structures and facilities listed below.  We also offer referrals for recommended repair, reinforcement, restoration, and reconstruction services for many of the structures found to be defective or in danger of collapse or severe damage in the event of a natural or man-made disaster or adverse event.   In addition, we offer design of new structures and facilities.   These include, but are not limited to the items listed below.

Structures and facilities:

  • Coal mines, shafts, and associated facilities and equipment - U.S., Canada, and overseas. 

  • Coal processing plants and associated equipment - U.S., Canada, and overseas.

  • Other mines:  copper, diamonds, gold, gravel, iron, nickel, platinum, salt, silver, sulfur, tin, titanium, uranium, zinc, etc. - U.S., Canada, and overseas. 

  • Railroad tracks, railroad train cars, roads, and trucks used to transport coal and liquefied natural gas. 

  • Bridges, road and railroad - used by coal-transporting trucks and trains.

  • Piers, docks, and wharfs used to on-load and off-load coal, oil, and liquefied natural gas.

  • Natural gas wells.

  • Natural gas processing plants.

  • Natural gas pipelines.

  • Oil pipelines.   

  • Numerous other structures and facilities. 

The defects and hazards include, but are not limited to:

  • Faulty, shoddy, or generally poor original construction.

  • Construction that met building and seismic codes at the time of the original construction, but which fail to meet today's codes, and which could be a hazard to life and property in the future.

  • Construction that met building and seismic codes at the time of the original construction, but which have deteriorated over the years or were damaged or weakened by fire, weather, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, ground subsidence, landslides, avalanches, or blasts (including sonic booms or nearby demolitions). 

  • Foundation failures of coal mines, shafts, coal processing plants, and other strctures, resulting from corrosion, earthquakes, subsidence, liquefaction, ground shifts, tsunamis, and/or gradual deterioration of materials from water currents and  weather. 

  • Landslides:  threats; slides that have occurred since construction of a structure and may have weakened the structure.

  • Damage caused by terrorist attacks, or hidden damage caused by sabotage or by attempted sabotage that appeared at first to have failed. 

  • Corrosion, over the years, of underground and above-ground natural gas, oil water supply, and sewer pipes and conduits.

  • Asbestos that may be present in some structures.

  • Earthquake faults and potential for major shaking or permanent ground deformation.

  • Proximity of a structure to earthquake faults and soil vulnerable to magnified shaking.

  • Potential for subsidence of the soil beneath a structure, including differential subsidence within a structure's footprint.

Services Offered and Referred: *

  • Structural integrity inspection of the mine, well, processing plant, or other structure or facility.

  • Construction defects determination.

  • Foundation failure determination.

  • Investigation of catastrophic failure or major damage resulting from earthquakes, storms, or human-generated activities (terrorist attacks, sabotage, major accidents, etc.). 

  • Structural analysis for damage, deterioration, or corrosion over the years.

  • Seismic and landslide hazards determination and seismic safety analysis

  • Repair of defects.

  • Mitigation, overhaul, or renovation - partial or total.

  • Asbestos removal, if applicable.

  • Reinforcement of the mine, shaft, or other structure or facility.

  • Reinforcement of the processing plant or associated structure.

  • Restoration or reconstruction of the structure or facility.

  • Protection against maximum credible earthquake.

  • Protection against maximum credible wind event.

  • Closing of a coal mine.  Demolition or removal of associated structures and facilities.

  • Design and drilling of new coal mines and shafts - U.S. and overseas.

  • Design and construction of new processing plants and transportation systems - U.S. and overseas.

  • Research into improvement in the construction of various structures, facilities, and pipelines.

* NOTE: Most inspection, evaluation, construction defects determination, seismic hazards determination, structural analysis, foundation failure analysis, seismic safety analysis, and/or other inspection-related services - plus construction, building, demolition, removal, repair, reinforcement, retrofit, overhaul, restoration, reconstruction, rebuilding, enlargement, and/or other building-related construction and remedial services - are referred to, and administered by, other environmental or engineering companies.  Clients are to deal directly and entirely with said referred environmental and/or engineering company or companies for any and all said referred services.  

Environmental Science & Energy, Inc. is not directly involved with any of said referred services. Environmental Science & Energy, Inc. does not manage, supervise, oversee, coordinate, or facilitate any of said referred services.  Environmental Science & Energy, Inc. hereby declares that our corporation is not, and cannot be held,  legally responsible for any of said referred services and that our corporation assumes no liability at any time - past, present, or future - for any  projects, cases, jobs, work, tasks, or other services totally referred to other companies or agencies.

This caveat does not apply to most services offered directly by Environmental Science & Energy, Inc., including our data services, environmental planning and assessment, forensic expert and testimony services, weather forecasting, certified weather observers, certified hazardous materials training, global warming modeling, research and studies, public lectures, scientific software, and scientific documentaries, plus most scientific instrumentation and some of our renewable energy development (not requiring the installation of large hardware items, which are referred to other companies - in which case this caveat does apply).
