" Everything should be made as simple as possible, but
not simpler."
-Albert Einstein-
Damage Assessment and Environmental
Restoration:
3TM International can evaluate financial damages as a result
of environmental contamination, along with the cost to restore
the site to pre-contaminated conditions. This is accomplished
by comparing site-specific information on the nature and extent
of contamination with pre-contamination and/or background
levels. Following the comparison, various remediation technologies
can be evaluated, and a series of remediation cost estimates
can be generated using various remediation cost models.
Technical Reports and Expert Reports:
Field sampling programs and engineering evaluations are fully
documented in formal technical reports, in a variety of formats
and level of detail, depending on the client’s needs.
Reports typically include a summary of the technical objectives
of the work, technical findings, sampling methodology, analytical
testing methodology, sample collection field logs, site maps
and sketches, CADD drawings, GIS maps, summary of analytical
data, and raw field and analytical testing data. 3TM International
uses a variety of display techniques, ranging from simple
sketches to Computer Aided Design drawings to Surfer plots
to Geographic Information System databases. These techniques
allow raw environmental data to be stored, manipulated, and
displayed in a variety of ways, including spatially and by
data attribute. The database can be queried to display the
extent of contamination, the location of receptors, and geographic
and other features, and combination of features.
Technical Support to Expert
Witnesses:
3TM International frequently works closely with other expert
witnesses and other parties in planning field data collection,
evaluating the significance of data, preparing courtroom exhibits,
and providing other necessary technical support. In many instances,
3TM International will assist the experts in assessing the
technical merits of the case, and in uncovering the “chinks
in the armor” of the opposition.
Depositions, Preparation of
Courtroom Exhibits, and Expert Testimony:
Depending on the case, 3TM International will support the
litigation process by giving oral depositions, preparing written
affidavits and courtroom exhibits, and providing expert testimony
in court.
