Zapata Engineering services

We provide a full array of engineering services to design, build, operate, and maintain our clients’ facilities. Whether you need an addition or modification to an existing facility or a new installation, our design/build capabilities encompass the entire spectrum of activities to successfully execute a project including charrettes, conceptual and final designs, construction, and start up and commissioning. Our engineers and architects are LEED certified and can integrate significant energy savings for our clients. Our engineering and construction experience can be also put to work as Project Managers or as Owners Representatives to manage large, complex projects.

ZAPATA offers a complete range of Environmental services to government and private sector clients. We provide full-service engineering and remediation/construction capabilities for industrial, hazardous, toxic, radioactive waste, and Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC), and chemical warfare sites. We also provide a full range of services to address issues associated with abandoned underground mines. The key to our success has been our ability to provide cost effective solutions to our clients’ challenges. We bring sites to closure!

ZAPATA provides professional, comprehensive, high resolution geophysical imaging, and UXO support services. From subsurface evaluation, to high resolution 3D oil & gas seismic surveys, to major international groundwater projects, we have the geophysical experience and expertise to meet your job requirements.  We own several million dollars of specialized geophysical equipment.  ZAPATA has extensive experience in the detection and mapping of subsurface voids, including abandoned mine workings.  We have specialized equipment for void detection and mapping from both the surface and from boreholes.

Since 1995, ZAPATA has conducted site characterizations, remedial designs, range clearance, and removal actions at Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) and Recovered Chemical Warfare Materiel (RCWM) sites throughout CONUS and OCONUS. We facilitate teamwork between Federal, State, and local regulatory agencies and the local communities to meet stakeholder objectives.

From roadway, bridge and traffic signal design to water mains and environmental permitting, your community is challenged every day to be at its best. To help you, our professionals are constantly seeking ways to improve infrastructure without disrupting the daily lives of the citizens you serve.

ZAPATA has developed comprehensive mine subsidence investigations to delineate mine workings, evaluate subsidence risk, and develop mitigation strategies.  We can map the void size and geometry using borehole laser (for air-filled voids) or sonar tools (for water-filled voids) and image void conditions using video camera capabilities.

ZAPATA has successfully applied geophysics to environmental investigations across the country, with experience at federal facilities, Superfund sites, and other areas containing hazardous materials. In the course of site characterization for these types of projects, drilling and sampling is often complicated by regulations and decontamination requirements. Non-intrusive geophysical methods can provide the subsurface information necessary for developing a mitigation plan.
