  Are you up to taking the plunge? SME is. The highly technical, highly complex — and potentially hazardous — energy work many consulting firms shy away from, SME champions. Power plants, manufactured gas plants, underground storage tanks, PCB and pipeline releases, decommissioning. In this era of deregulation, energy suppliers must constantly review their operations to stay in the game. Energy companies look to SME for environmental solutions. We provide emergency response, environmental site assessments, remedial investigation, risk assessment, remediation, and site closure. Energy companies look to SME for geotechnical solutions. We excel at solving difficult geotechnical and structural challenges during design and construction. While new construction focuses on adding peak capacity, old-line coal-burning plants require upgrades to meet ever-changing clean air regulations. We answer the call by designing specialized foundations, conducting dynamic and vibration evaluations, and evaluating electrical resistivity. Ask any of the project managers in our Energy Group to describe a memorable project, and they'll talk about what they're working on now, what they worked on last month, and what they worked on last year. It's all challenging work. Like prioritizing underground storage tanks (UST) system removals and site investigation activities for 112 USTs at service center facilities across Michigan. Or reviewing building plans and site reconnaissance to identify hazardous or regulated materials that would impact demolition of a coal heating plant and associated power generation building. Or conducting a contamination investigation and delineation assessment at nine former manufactured gas plant sites. It's no wonder clients say: "When a project is challenging, we need SME." Our engineers and materials specialists thrive on having their "voltage" tested by Consumers Energy and DTE Energy. You'll never have to worry about a bolt from the blue with SME.
