OUR APPROACH TO SWPPP
Proven, Turnkey SWPPP Service
When we say “Turnkey”, we mean it. But, what is a true turnkey service? Webster’s Dictionary defines “turnkey” as: of or involving the provision of a complete product or service that is ready for immediate use. In layman’s terms, and in regards to Construction EcoServices, it means that we provide a suite of services to General Contractors that covers all construction activity compliance needs from start to finish.
This includes:
- One Point of Contact
One of the most fantastic things about the offering of Turn-Key services is that it prevents having to deal with more sub-contractors than necessary. - Documentation & Research
Complete all required documentation… Identify jurisdiction, receiving waters - Certified Record keeping
Weekly inspections by certified SWPPP Inspectors….. - Communication
Provide communication to the jobsite Superintendent (and Project Manager if desired), with regard to compliance status and action items required as they arise. Be on call to provide support and mediation in conversations with regulatory compliance officers - Lower Costs
Talk about reducing unnecessary BMPs… Using higher quality BMPs to reduce maintenance cost. - Expertise
We have an expert to fit your need. Certified Erosion, Sediment and Stormwater Inspector (CESSI), Qualified Compliance Inspector of Stormwater (QCIS) and Qualified SWPPP Preparer (QSWPP)
To sum it up, the benefits of a Turnkey solution ease the burden, lower overall costs and provide compliance assurance on your sites. By delegating these responsibilities to our specialists, your project team is free to concentrate on revenue-generating activities rather than time consuming regulatory minutiae.
In short, we offer complete, turnkey SWPPP compliance assurance. It’s simple. No major commitment involved, just a project-by-project, performance-based relationship that will save you time and money.
Ask us to prove it on one job. We’ll earn the rest.
