Environmental Impact Reporting

All of ISE’s technical services are available in a variety of environmental formats to satisfy local, state, and federal reporting requirements. ISE has prepared over the years, every manner of environmental documentation including CEQA and NEPA technical assessments, environmental initial studies (IS), mitigated negative declarations (MND), federal no significant impact statements (FONSI), and Environmental Impact Reports (EIR’s) / Environmental Impact Statements (EIS’s).

ISE has also co-authored numerous environmental documents with larger A&E firms, providing necessary technical subject matter and focused environmental sections as part of a larger document.

Featured Video Clip (Concrete Fail)

ISE performing load testing of concrete test specimens to determine its axial compressive failure characteristics.

In this example, you can see quite dramatically how concrete fails under a compressive load. Once the ultimate stress is reached, the load carrying capacity of the material rapidly drops off producing the fracturing seen in the video.
