NorthStar Recovery Services are second to none.
The NorthStar advantage is unrivaled. We’re a full-service emergency response company and we own and maintain the largest fleet of state-of-the-art equipment. With unparalleled financial strength, superior safety training, government clearance and a nationwide network of affiliates and strategic partners; Northstar is the only choice for your business’ recovery and construction needs.
In the event that Northstar requires additional equipment beyond our inventory, we are able to call upon our strong relationships with equipment leasing companies to meet those needs. Northstar also has agreements in place with the nation’s top three material providers and similar agreements for preferred pricing on various sub-trades, including hauling and disposal.
Waste Management for LEED Certification
In concert with Northstar’s standard policy to divert the highest percentage of construction and demolition waste from landfills, we also assist clients seeking LEED Certification.
Achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification is the best way to demonstrate that your project is truly sustainable. Northstar regularly assists our clients with meeting the selected certification goal through our innovative recycling and waste diversion procedures.
Our standard goal is to redirect a minimum of 75% of recyclable recovered resources back to the manufacturing process or redirect reusable building materials to the appropriate end users.
To pursue the LEED certification sought, adjustments are made to diversion levels, procedures and impacts.
Certification level and corresponding diversion goals are identified early in the design stage, as higher levels may have cost as well as scheduling impacts. Northstar assists during the budgeting process to assure that full impacts are recognized as soon as possible.
Often during the project, Northstar appoints a Recycling Field Coordinator responsible to coordinate the enforcement of the Northstar Construction Waste Management and Recycling Plan through monitoring, documentation, and training activities.
