Client: Transwestern Development Company
Location: Houston, Texas, U.S.A.
Markets: Construction | Site Development | Commercial
Challenges
Planned redevelopment of a long-term-use retail fuel (gas)
station in a high visibility area of Harris County, Houston. The site
had previously been recorded with hydrocarbon contamination.
and a non-compliant car wash; the car wash had been
abandoned for many years and its inventory of regulated
materials remained. The property also included a contiguous
(vacant) tract with an apparent (mapped) wetlands area, slated
for proposed development. All property improvements
(buildings), any hazardous materials, and existing environmental
conditions required removal/management on a compressed
timeline to ensure successful project execution driven by the
needs of a single-occupant/Fortune 500 tenant.
Former fuel PST location – PST compliance inspection
Due Diligence assessment adjacent to fuel tanks
Solution
Once comprehensive due diligence was complete by TGE, we
prepared a strategic plan driven by concurrent task execution
and strict project timelines. Our client approved our “order of
operations”, which ensured that regulated materials were
removed, tank systems excavated/closed, asbestos and other
building-related materials abated, and buildings demolished
without incident or events of delay. TGE addressed the wetland
concern under United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
compliance, coordinated with construction crews to prepare the
site for construction.
Outcome
A “clean-closed” commercial property that met client
requirements for Class-A commercial use with no continuing
obligations, deed notice, or environmental conditions
whatsoever.
Site redevelopment with multi-story office building
Full facility demolition following asbestos survey and regulated material disposal
TCEQ-compliant PST removal, confirmation testing, and reporting
