RT STAFF AND PROJECT NEWS
- Chris Ward, LSRP, is pleased to announce that Kevin Thomas has joined RT’s New Jersey staff professionals. Kevin is already busy at work with Jen Berg overseeing the next stage of solar site development which is underway in Monroe Township, Monmouth County.
- Walter Hungarter is working with Gary Brown on a project in Upper Dublin Township related to mold. Issues arose at a large residential building under construction,
where the very wet November and December period caused moisture intrusion and mold amplification that needed to be addressed promptly. Township code officials asked
RT to mobilize to the site, and work was
completed rapidly in conjunction with mold abatement staff. The issue of moisture
intrusion is important when there is high humidity coupled with mold growth, as these types of issues should be addressed within
36 hours to minimize mold amplification.
- Chris Blosenski, who also is a first responder in Lititz, promptly responded to an issue at a Philadelphia City high rise building where moisture loss from an HVAC system caused the need for a prompt response. RT has managed mold issues for more than 15 years at RT and has Certified Microbial Consultant’s on staff.
- Justin Lauterbach is successfully
managing a large asbestos abatement contract in Pittsburgh with Stephanie Dinello, and is also working on remediation at a number of redevelopment Act 2 sites and storage tank sites across PA.
- Craig Herr is working on another Act 2 site in South Philadelphia. A previous project at this location requires expanded delineation of impacted soil and groundwater to meet appropriate PADEP requirements. The project is complicated because it involves multiple properties.
- Aaron Schneider is working with Gary Brown and Chris Blosenski on providing additional input on a landfill located in Alabama where concerns have arisen regarding proper stormwater management and groundwater monitoring. Gary Brown previously participated in evaluating and providing professional opinions for other
locations in the southern states related to coal ash disposal, an issue which has received national attention. Gary Brown has been involved in the engineering, monitoring, and design of solid waste facilities since 1978.
We are looking forward to expanding
services and serving our clients on projects in the northeast and at other locations in the United States in 2020 and beyond.
