We apply environmentally sensitive, sustainable, green design principles as we provide creative solutions to our clients. Our LEED® accredited professionals offer services that will contribute to achieving your goals for LEED® certification of your project through beneficial use and recycling in site development.
Schnabel supports sustainable design and contributes to LEED® credit in many ways, including the following:
- Use of Brownfields for site development
- Sustainable geotechnics including reuse and recovery of construction demolition debris
- Use of recycled materials in construction
- Evaluation of facility placement considering subsurface conditions to minimize foundation cost
- Underpinning of existing foundations to increase strength to support additional loads
- Use of Geophysics to estimate subsurface conditions limiting disturbance to site soils and vegetation
- Design of stormwater management ponds to treat site runoff
- Consideration of alternatives for facility siting in order to avoid high quality habitats, protected species, difficult geology/subsurface conditions, and wetlands
