Parkland Environmental Group, Inc.
Who We Are
Thank you for the opportunity to introduce our inspection company, Parkland Environmental Group Inc. My late father, Harry Stowers established Parkland Laboratories, Ltd. in 1986 as an independent, NVLAP-accredited laboratory for testing asbestos in building materials and organic chemistry.
In addition, Parkland staff members are also licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health in various professional disciplines, including asbestos project supervisors, air sampling professionals, building inspections for asbestos, asbestos project management, and asbestos management planning for schools and institutions.
Parkland Environmental Group, Inc.
Who We Are
In 1995, Parkland evolved into other facets in the environmental field. Parkland performed multiple ASTM Phase I environmental site assessments for commercial properties, Phase II’s involving subsurface investigation, drilling or probing for collection of soil and groundwater samples, and in-house laboratory for analyses of samples. In addition, Parkland began to receive requests from current and new clients for the removal of asbestos in the commercial and industrial sectors.
In 1999, Parkland became a licensed asbestos abatement contractor with the Illinois Department of Public Health. During this period of new growth, I changed the name of the business to Parkland Environmental Group Inc. to reflect the various services we provided.
In 2003, Parkland began select demolition and total building demolition at the request of our clients. Parkland now provides multiple services under one roof. For example, when a client approaches us with a project involving an abandoned building, we can provide the ASTM Phase I historical study of the past and present use of the target property to determine if recognized environmental conditions exist resulting from potential sources of chemical contamination. We can provide the building inspections for asbestos, analyze asbestos bulk samples in-house by polarized light microscopy, perform asbestos abatement, and demolish the structure to facilitate new construction.
In 2007, Parkland decided to concentrate on the areas of building inspections, asbestos abatement, select, and total building demolitions. In addition to the demolitions Parkland provides, we now offer mechanical demolitions as part of our demolition service. All services Parkland has provided in the past and the present are client-geared. If a need arises outside the normal scope Parkland has adapted and provided the service necessary to complete the project in a timely and efficient manner.
Parkland Environmental Group, Inc. is a local, independent business that has served the midwestern Illinois area for over 35 years.
Respectfully,
David B. Stowers
