Sustainability

Sanborn Head offers a broad range of services to assist developers, architects and design professionals in the planning, engineering and construction of sustainable facilities. 

Whether its financial incentives, LEED certification, or regulatory responses, there are a growing number of reasons to incorporate sustainability into projects. By leveraging our geo-environmental experience in land development and industrial facility and solid waste engineering, we assist our clients in identifying and developing cost-effective sustainable projects – from the design of foundations for wind and solar farms, to the analysis of greenhouse gas emissions, to the design of geothermal well fields and landfill gas to energy plants.  We also apply our understanding of hydrogeology and the subsurface to provide low-impact development (LID) strategies for stormwater and wastewater management.  Beyond the science, Sanborn Head is keenly aware of the need to balance the life cycle cost of sustainable development with the expected benefits to the project and the environment. Our services include:

• Brownfield Redevelopment
• Water Resources Planning and Stormwater Management
• Geothermal Well Field Design
• Greenhouse Gas Inventories
• Solar Panel and Wind Turbine Foundation Design
