Identifying, Avoiding, Mitigating, and Insuring Environmental Risk in Construction

Environmental issues have been plaguing real estate and development projects for years, resulting in delays, cost overruns, third party exposures, claims, and often times, litigation.

As new development is focused on the inner city, waterfront properties, and other historic industrial sites, this trend is not going to decrease anytime soon. Properties built in the late 1960’s and 70’s are now obsolete and the resultant renovation or demolition is uncovering hazardous materials and environmental challenges. New materials not addressed in the 1980’s and 90’s are now becoming regulated.

These challenges can be overcome, converted to opportunities, and claims can be avoided.

Please join our panel of seasoned experts as we explore how these issues can be identified and properly addressed during due diligence, preconstruction, and contracting. Understand the value of integrating proper insurance coverage. Learn how the risks can be mitigated and claims avoided. Lastly, know how to prepare and defend an environmental claim or litigation if one arises.

Our panel of engineers, consultants, lawyers, and insurance experts will provide the roadmap for dealing with environmental issues and answer all of your questions.
