Innovation With An Impact
We take pride in our comprehensive approach to solving complex sustainability and resilience challenges. We study analyze, research, model, design, manage, and plan at a narrow or broad scale, as dictated by the project or organizational needs of our clients. Our full array of sustainability and resilience services can be applied to a broad range of project types, including, but not limited to the following:
Our goal is to meet our clients’ needs and assist in optimizing sustainable life cycle project performance.
Examples of the key services that we offer to our clients include GHG inventory development and reduction strategies, sustainability project/program planning and management, eco-charrette facilitation, and the application of sustainability rating systems utilized worldwide (e.g.: LEED, Envision, Estidama, CEEQUAL).
Some project examples are shown below, with additional details provided in our Sustainability Brochure.
We collaborate closely with in-house subject matter experts in the areas of Renewable Power, and Environmental remediation to implement sustainable solutions for our clients, leveraging Parsons-built Smart Infrastructure technology and tools.
Disaster Management
As a global leader in resilient infrastructure design, our team stands ready to provide disaster-related services in even the most challenging environments. We can’t predict disasters, but with help from our experts, we can minimize impacts throughout the disaster management cycle. Mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery are key to bringing communities through the challenges wrought by weather.
Prevention Through Preparedness And Mitigation
No one wants a disaster to happen – but being ready for one is critically important to saving lives and efficiently restoring facilities. We specialize in a variety of mitigation and preparedness services, including:
- Storm Hardening
- Asset Management
- Proactive Inspections
- FEMA Grant Management
- Vulnerability Studies
- Storm Modeling
- Facility Condition Assessment
- Disaster Planning
Response And Recovery, Safely, And Quickly
When disaster hits, our team is prepared to put plan into action, assisting with stabilization, recovery, and reconstruction. Our unique capabilities as a design-builder, coupled with our ability to rapidly mobilize resources, has been key in our efforts to help return a sense of normalcy to devastated regions around the world – from the US Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina to tsunami-ravaged Indonesia.
Our response and recovery capabilities include:
- Damage Assessment
- Temporary Facilities Design
- Program Management
- Construction Management
Innovative Disaster Management Solutions
We’re incorporating new technologies to help produce better outcomes. Roadway weather information systems, structural health monitoring, weigh-in-motion systems and more can help increase the lifespan of our infrastructure through the challenges of disaster.
Utilizing digital twin technology helps our engineers analyze and design around complexities, modeling drainage, and impacts to utilities, making projects smoother from the start while providing a 3D double of the project that can be useful for future improvements or repairs.
