Cost-Reduction Through Supply Chain Management & Technical Support

Consulting Engineers:   For Consultants establishing budgets or managing waste disposal for your clients we offer a number of Waste Assistance Programs to increase the efficiency of your personnel and the quality of your work product.   Strategic Overview   Waste transportation and disposal costs are a significant expenditure for your clients’ overall remediation budget.   Waste transportation and waste disposal service providers are in business to maximize their profits, not to reduce your clients’ costs.  Rather than rely upon them for technical assistance, we offer our technical and market expertise to assist you in managing the disposal component of your projects.  We also can help manage transportation and disposal companies to keep them from capturing additional profit margin at your client’s expense.      We partner with you to seamlessly reduce your client’s costs of remediation.   Understanding the intricacies of the market place allows us to work with your firm and use our expertise to your client’s benefit, reducing overall project costs as well as the burden on your staff.  We are another tool for you to use to successfully complete projects and to strengthen the relationship you have with your clients.

Technical Expertise   SWL will work with you early in the remediation process to ensure the adequacy bugets and waste characterization sampling plans and to reduce duplication of efforts associated with sampling events.  This will allow for more accurate and timely characterization, classification, budgeting and approvals for your clients’ waste streams.   SWL will partner with you for preparing bid documents that are concise and comprehensive in order to maximize the cost savings for the transportation and disposal portion of your client’s remediation project.   SWL will ensure the proper preparation of the necessary waste approval forms and waste shipping documents required for your waste streams.   SWL will maintain an electronic file of all waste related documents for easy report preparation.   SWL will also provide scheduling and logistical support.  We'll track the waste on all of your sites from RI through the remediation and provide critical path management, technical support and coordination.

Work Product Improvement   SWL will work with you to customize a strategy for each project that will meaningfully reduce the costs associated with the transportation and disposal component.   Transportation and disposal can easily account for 50% or more of any remediation effort, yet rarely gets anywhere near that proportionate level of emphasis during the planning stages.  By teaming with us early in the project, we can very quickly assist in driving the overall budget costs down by providing disposal specific technical, logistical and administrative expertise to compliment the technical expertise of your firm.   SWL can assist with RFQ preparation, quote review, pre-purchasing activities, invoice pre-approval, waste approvals, transportation & disposal coordination and documentation management.  Our expert personnel are completely familiar with the nuances of transportation and disposal costs, fees and surcharges whereby we can quickly eliminate un-substantiated or inappropriate charges.   We free up your technical professionals to focus on their strengths while increasing the quality of the work product to your clients.
