Massdec, LLC – On-site Safety and Health Consulting

Why did the customer contact us?

Ensolum provided the client with on-site safety and health consulting during the investigation and redevelopment of a former manufactured gas plant.

616 Iwilei Road is a four acre parcel located in the Iwilei district within Honolulu. The parcel was historically an operational manufactured gas plant which led to extensive sub-surface soil and groundwater contamination. Massdec, LLC purchased the parcel in 2017 and is redeveloping the parcel for commercial use.

Solutions provided:

The project consisted of pre-purchase health, safety and environmental due diligence, and is currently in the site work stage of redevelopment.
