Integral Consulting Inc. services

Communities and facilities along our nation’s coastlines are perpetually at risk due to a complex interplay of processes that drive coastal change. Integral is a leader in developing cutting-edge approaches to assess vulnerability and risk, communicating the information, and engaging with local stakeholders. Our approach is to carefully identify the vulnerabilities of various infrastructure components or natural resources that stem from exposure to different physical processes and from coastal hazards related to critical location and elevation details. Risk is determined by what physical processes may cause the vulnerability and the associated consequence of any damages.

Integral is a preeminent innovator in guiding communities and facilities through the complex adaptation planning process. The purpose of adaptation planning is to develop pathways to minimize the inevitable impacts of sea level rise on property, infrastructure, and critical ecosystems.

Our site characterization and assessment services are adapted to suit client and project needs. Our team will tailor the assessment to best characterize and understand key processes that need to be addressed to improve resilience. An initial assessment can include geomorphic, habitat, and physical process evaluations that identify areas for more detailed investigation. Additional evaluation may include geologic framework, shoreline change, sediment budget, ecological feedbacks, or fiscal impact and economic analyses. Site assessments may also include coastal hazard modeling to evaluate the potential risks and identify key processes driving site vulnerability. Depending on the needs of the project and client, the site characterization and assessment services will be selected to best support an understanding of key processes and develop a conceptual understanding of the system holistically.

To support the identification of suitable areas for wind energy leasing, Integral provides the following services to regulators and potential investors and developers:

Water plays a key role in the industrial process. It can be difficult managing the sourcing, stewardship, discharge, and monitoring of the water needed to run your business. Integral works with industrial clients to help them acquire the water they need, use it in the most sustainable manner, and discharge it meeting all regulatory requirements with little to no impact on the environment. We understand each phase comes with unique challenges specific to your location, regulatory environment, and industry, and our engineers and scientists are here to help.

Strategic water management can save an organization time, money, and headache in the mining industry. Clients expect consultants to not only help solve the problem of water management, but to do so in an efficient and cost effective manner. Integral works with mining clients to manage their water starting from exploration to post closure and reclamation. We support our clients in their dewatering strategy and environmental impact statements when exploring or expanding mining sites. Our clients rely on our modeling skills to design sustainable systems for water management in their mining process. Then when the time comes to close the site, we are here to design closure strategies that will save time and money.

When it comes to water, Municipalities ask these two key questions, “where are we going to get the water our community demands?” and “what are we going to do with our used water?”. Sourcing water for a municipality is a complex problem involving rights, permitting, treatment, engineering logistics, and sustainability.

Our team designs and delivers efficient, science-based, multimedia environmental investigations that provide the data needed to answer the important questions and develop the right solutions.  We are targeted, on point, and strategic.  The result is remedial strategies that are protective, sustainable, and cost-effective.

We know that complying with environmental, health, and safety regulations is a priority for our clients.  So is meeting business objectives.  That’s why we consider both when building compliance strategies.  Within this framework, our scientists and engineers bring to bear the relevant technical factors to develop robust programs to meet a range of federal, state, and local regulatory standards.
