Webinar | The Latest in HRSC: Real-Time Data and Remedial Alternatives
Wednesday, October 21, 2026 | 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET
About the Webinar

The process of High-Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) continues to evolve, giving environmental professionals faster, more defensible ways to understand and remediate contaminated sites. This webinar will open with the value that HRSC brings in reducing data gaps and uncertainty—leading to more successful outcomes at a lower total cost. The discussion will continue with a brief overview of core technologies, illustrated with a case example of HRSC applied on a military project.
The session then will turn to how real-time data acquisition and 3D visualization tools accelerate field decisions, and how that data feeds into remedial alternatives analysis — comparing options, cost, and time while managing uncertainty and closing data gaps that affect the analysis.
Attendees will leave the webinar with practical insight into which HRSC tools and approaches to apply on their own projects, and how to build the case for them with program managers and regulators.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the value HRSC brings in reducing data gaps and uncertainty, leading to more successful outcomes at
- a lower total cost, plus an overview of core HRSC technologies and capabilities.
- Review a case example of applying HRSC on a military project.
- Understand how real-time subsurface data and 3D visualization (SmartData) speed up and improve field decision-making.
- Learn how HRSC data supports remedial alternatives analysis: evaluating options, cost, and schedule tradeoffs.
- Identify how uncertainty management and data-gap closure strengthen the defensibility of alternatives analyses.
