Emergency Response
In emergency situations, immediate response is critical for managing human health
and environmental risks, as well as minimizing disruption to business and
government operations. MACTEC professionals with specific expertise in building
systems; chemical, environmental, geotechnical, structural, and radiological
engineering; toxicology; and construction materials inspection and testing can
be rapidly mobilized and immediately productive.
MACTEC's extensive nationwide network of multi-disciplinary engineers,
scientists, and technicians can provide emergency response services for
virtually any natural or manmade disaster. Our experience encompasses many of
the most high-profile emergencies in recent years, from the devastating
earthquake in Northridge, California to the September 11 terrorist attacks, to
hurricanes Frances, Jeanne, and most recently, Katrina.
In response to air quality emergencies such as sick building syndrome, our
professionals have the expertise and resources to identify, remediate, and
provide ongoing monitoring of virtually all types of indoor air pollutants
including toxic mold, carbon monoxide, radon, asbestos, lead-based paint, and
PCBs.
MACTEC has a history of proven performance in emergency and high-priority
response situations, when every decision is critical and there is little leeway
to accommodate a learning curve. To learn more about our emergency response and
