NOVA Engineering & Environmental

NOVA Engineering and Environmental provides environmental consulting, geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing and inspection, plan review and code compliance, municipal and building department support, and roofing and building enclosure consulting. Its services span the complete life of a project, from inception through construction and compliance to redevelopment or demolition.

Due diligence work includes Phase I, II and III Environmental Site Assessments, property condition assessments, geotechnical evaluations and building enclosure assessments for property transactions, redevelopment and divestment. Environmental services also cover brownfield redevelopment with regulatory notifications, remediation planning and regulatory closure, soil and groundwater assessment, vapor and radon intrusion assessment and mitigation, ecological and human health risk assessment, air quality permitting and monitoring, and stormwater and wastewater compliance.

On the construction side, NOVA says its laboratories meet ASTM E-329, D-3666 and C-1077 requirements, participate in AASHTO and CCRL proficiency programs, and that most labs are AASHTO, A2LA or CMEC accredited for soils, hot-mix asphalt, concrete and aggregate testing. Building enclosure work covers design and shop drawing review, mockup testing, quality assurance inspections, water intrusion investigations and remedial design, plus roof condition assessments and failure analysis. A forensic engineering team provides investigations and expert witness testimony on structural issues, storm damage and construction defects.

The firm has operated since 1996 and says it has 18 local offices and a team of more than 600 professionals. Building enclosure services are described as covering Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina, private provider services are offered in Florida, and the site publishes a state-by-state map separating states where NOVA has an office from states where it is only authorized to work. Fees are quoted per project. The corporate office is at 3900 Kennesaw 75 Parkway, Suite 100, Kennesaw, GA 30144.
