Almost every job in construction today includes an environmental aspect, whether that means protecting the environment or species that reside there, restoring a damaged environment, or enhancing the current environment. Barnard has experience in all of these facets of environmental construction.

Protecting the Environment
Barnard has a 30-year history of working well with environmental agencies and groups, ensuring that the projects we construct also protect the environment in which they’re located. From wetlands matting to protection of the endangered snowy plover, we’ve worked closely with owners, agencies, and the public to meet everyone’s needs.

Restoring/Enhancing the Environment
One example of our efforts in this area is our construction of the 190,000-acre-foot Everglades Agricultural Area A-1 Reservoir, the first in a series of projects designed to restore the health of the greater Everglades ecosystem. Another would be our construction of six complex projects (totaling more than $300 million) in the Owens Lake region in south central California designed to mitigate dust pollution arising from the dry lakebed.

Take a look at what we’ve done and what we’re working on today.
