Both public- and private-sector clients rely on ATANE to provide environmental services for residential, commercial and industrial settings and to guide them through complex environmental policy and regulations. Our Environmental Department also offers invaluable experience in integrating environmental risk management with land use planning and sustainable development for both urban and rural environments. Its specialized staff is adept at environmental due diligence, site assessment and investigation; hazardous material assessment and abatement; remediation and reuse of contaminated properties; waste management design; remedial design and oversight; engineering design, environmental impact assessment and planning; and environmental compliance rezoning and permitting.
Quality materials are the key to long-term construction reliability and indispensable to successful project performance. Our rigorous inspection protocols have resulted in a client base of some of the region's most discerning builders and infrastructure owners who must achieve on-time construction and occupancy. Our special inspectors conduct and evaluate testing on site as well as at fabrication plants in North America, Asia and Europe. We were the first New York City firm to earn accreditation in all categories of construction-including vital structural and life-safety building components-and we maintain two licensed material testing laboratories.
ATANE's Architectural/Facilities Design group works within a studio environment where collaboration is key to design and production. Each project blends the creativity, technical expertise, dedication and experience of a diverse team of professionals, and employs state-of-the-art technology such as BIM and conceptual 3D modeling. Our LEED-certified professionals offer sustainable solutions that emphasize high performance, energy efficiency and environmental sensitivity. Our building engineers offer the full range of MEP and fire life safety services, and we are fully knowledgeable of National Fire Protection Association guidelines and local building codes.
Since joining the firm in 2000, I have observed a relatively small engineering firm evolve into a dynamic, full-service architectural and engineering company. Our growth over three decades has been driven by a combination of dedication and passion to deliver excellence in PM/CM, engineering, architecture, special inspections, survey/mapping, and environmental services. Fundamental to this success has been our outstanding people and the unique culture we have fostered. Our re-branding in 2018 resulted in a contemporary, future-focused organization moving into new markets and territories, attracting a newer generation of professionals, and continuing our long-standing relationships with client partners and stakeholders.
