ARM is contributing to the goal of achieving energy independence by helping its clients evaluate and develop their renewable energy resources in the following areas:

Wind Energy Assessment & Development: With federal tax credits in place and generous government grants for wind energy development available, now is an opportune time to meet rising energy demands by evaluating the potential for wind energy production at your site. ARM can coordinate all aspects of wind energy development beginning with a preliminary feasibility assessment and culminating with completed installed capacity.  ARM’s services include: Initial Project Feasibility Evaluation Economic and Financial Viability Analysis Wind Resource Assessment Land Development Planning, Zoning Approval, and Permitting Environmental Impact Studies Public Inquiry Coordination and Outreach and Liaison with Planning Officials GIS Mapping and Visualizations Landowner Agreements Wind Turbine Layout Design and Optimization Civil Infrastructure Engineering and Micro-siting Evaluation Geotechnical Investigation and Recommendations Project Management Grid Connection Issues and Utility Purchasing Agreements Additional Information

Wind Energy Advisory Services: Commercially viable wind energy sites are a valuable natural resource. ARM ‘s engineers and scientists can assist the owners of potentially suitable wind energy properties in: Evaluating the viability of their properties for commercial scale wind energy projects; Assessing the potential total development value of these properties; and Advising owners about how to structure agreements to maximize the total development value of each property. Additional Details

Solar Energy Services: Demand for solar energy is accelerating as many states add solar power to their renewable/alternative energy portfolio standards. ARM’s consultants and engineers can assist electric utilities and other businesses or authorities in adding solar energy production capacity to a variety of sites.  We offer a comprehensive project management approach, bringing together a team of expert professionals capable of ensuring the successful development and realization of solar energy projects.  ARM can provide specialized consulting or full project management services throughout the active life of a solar energy project. ARM's services include:
Solar Power Feasibility Studies Site Selection and Space Optimization Environmental Impact Assessments Conceptual/Final Layout and Design Preparation of Contract Documents Construction Quality Assurance Additional Information

Landfill Gas To Energy Production: ARM engineers have extensive experience in landfill gas management, design, conveyance, and utilization.  Our personnel have provided design and construction-phase related services for numerous landfill gas to energy projects throughout the Mid-Atlantic Region.  ARM's landfill gas utilization services specialize in providing the following: Quantification & GHG reduction verifications as a CCX Approved Verifier Landfill Gas Generation Assessment Engineering Design Services Permit Application Preparation including Preparation of Construction Drawings and Specifications CQA and Construction Certification Services Additional Information

Geothermal Heating & Cooling System Development Use of geothermal energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions by using the naturally occurring heat source of the earth. Geothermal heating/cooling systems are integral elements of many “greener” building projects. To efficiently design and optimize a geothermal heating/cooling system, strategically located groundwater wells and a geothermal conductivity tests are imperative. ARM’s experienced hydrogeologists and engineers complete geothermal conductivity tests by locating and installing test wells and completing conductivity testing per industry accepted practices. ARM’s hydrogeologists provide added value to the well siting and selection process by using fracture trace analysis and geophysics to identify the subsurface regions with the greatest thermal and hydraulic conductivity potential prior to drilling. This process typically results in lower capital costs for geothermal systems because a more thermally conductive well means fewer wells are necessary to achieve the required capacity of the system.
