The United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) faced significant environmental and safety compliance challenges, rooted in the need for updated infrastructure assessments and adherence to strict federal standards. ETC’s scope of work encompassed a broad spectrum of tasks to address these challenges. This included updating asbestos surveys to current norms, conducting building envelope reviews and mold investigations to identify structural and health risks, and performing comprehensive lead paint surveys. The effort extended to identifying and resolving any environmental hazards through meticulous coordination and on-site management of abatement and remediation processes.

ETC played a pivotal role in steering USMMA towards full regulatory compliance and enhanced safety. Their expertise was instrumental in not only detecting and assessing the extent of environmental issues but also in effectively managing their resolution. ETC developed and implemented Standard Operating Procedures for managing key environmental concerns, ensuring a proactive approach to campus safety. Additionally, they provided critical training to USMMA staff, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to maintain compliance and manage environmental risks effectively. Their comprehensive approach not only addressed immediate compliance needs but also laid the groundwork for sustained environmental stewardship at the academy.
