ENSAT thrives on the unique challenges associated with special projects. Our unique combination of consultants, engineers, construction professionals, and construction trades-people enable ENSAT to perform a wide spectrum of special projects. Our multilingual capabilities allow ENSAT to perform in a wide range of geographic locations. We have worked in virtually all major population centers in the U.S. and several overseas countries. ENSAT's special projects include unique design build construction projects with critically short time completion requirements, unique work restrictions, and complicated regulatory requirements.

The Special Projects services that ENSAT provides are wide-ranging and can include everything from subsurface construction to de-watering treatment systems to allow for excavation, construction, demolition, and tank installations. All special projects, however, have the following unique characteristics:

• Unique Environmental and Energy Systems: ENSAT excels in unique design-build environmental and energy system projects. Our team is goal oriented and committed to meeting the needs of the most demanding clients. Our approach begins with the identification of a client's needs and requirements and culminates only when the client has full use of the specific services delivered under each contract. ENSAT lead engineers, consultants and project designers will remain with a project through the construction or implementation phase to insure project continuity. Because we have a strong internal construction component that must perform fixed price construction, ENSAT has a strong institutional understanding of efficiency and cost controls necessary to make a design- build option the right choice for your business. Equally important to these projects is the chemistry between the client and the ENSAT project team. Our policy is to maintain continuity in our client relationships by maintaining a single point of contact with the client. This is always an individual the client feels comfortable working with and has developed a business or professional relationship with.

• Projects with critically short time completion requirements: Whether it's a last minute unforeseen condition or the structure of the deal, projects with short completion time horizons happen. Business transactions continue to get more complex and regulated while time expectations for completing them continue to shorten (i.e. ASAP). ENSAT specializes in these challenges and has a long history of performance with tight time constraints. A significant number of our clients first utilized our services because of our demonstrated track record of meeting these challenges. In fact, time compressed projects have become a staple of the ENSAT special projects portfolio. ENSAT views these projects as a special management challenge and we welcome this type of business. Our staff receives continual training on how to respond to these challenges and has grown to welcome them as a way to differentiate our firm in an increasing competitive global business environment.
  

• Projects with unique work restriction and requirements: Whether your firm's primary business is lodging, healing, development, or communications, your clients must be largely unaffected by our activities at your site. In today's marketplace, service interruptions that affect the end user are considered absolutely unacceptable. Long gone are the days when a service or site could be shut down while it is rebuilt, upgraded, investigated or otherwise altered. The service and construction industry's equivalent of "just in time inventory" is " no/minimal impact service delivery". On many projects performed by ENSAT the completion of the work task is secondary to the logistics associated with minimizing this impact. While ENSAT considers the minimization of this impact critical on all projects, it can take on a special nature when working with un-interruptible systems and in confined spaces in large buildings in heavily urbanized areas. ENSAT's project history in this area is extensive and we welcome any project which demonstrates our ability to be neither seen nor heard during the delivery of our products and or services.
  

• Projects with complicated regulatory requirements: ENSAT's senior management team has been working on projects involving local, state, and federal regulatory agencies for fifteen years. These projects include a wide range of regulatory interactions including permitting waste and recycling facilities, negotiating clean up standards and procedures, closure of sites once considered contaminated, permitting construction projects on a national basis, and authorization to use equipment not specifically permitted by code. While many of our clients feel that any project involving a regulatory agency is a "special project", we reserve this designation for those projects where there is not a clear and defined regulatory path to follow. These projects require the manager to strike a delicate balance between the needs of the regulator and the client.
  

• Projects where the scope of work is unique and typically non-reoccurring: ENSAT senior management and consulting team has been together for over fifteen years. This continuity allows our team to be especially effective on unique and complex projects where the scope may not be fully defined or evaluated. These projects often begin with one set of requirements, and then increase in complexity and difficulty. The professional diversity of ENSAT's senior team and the internal confidence within the group allow ENSAT to shift gears from implementation to evaluation seamlessly and efficiently. This is often a critical component of unique and non-reoccurring projects where the task to be performed and essentially all projects activities have to be created and evaluated for appropriateness as they are planned and executed.
