Biomass
Chemical testing of biomass fuels is not just a technical requirement, but a strategic necessity. It ensures that fuels meet performance expectations, comply with environmental regulations, and contribute to a cleaner energy future. Whether you’re a producer, utility operator, or regulatory body, investing in comprehensive biomass fuel testing is key to unlocking its full potential.  BSK provides expertise in testing organic materials such as wood, agricultural residues, and municipal waste, as a sustainable path to energy generation.

Energy Production
BSK has expanded its capabilities in supporting utility companies. BSK is now offering the full range of hydrocarbon, PCB, and hazardous waste analysis on soils and waters, with abundant capacity and redundancy that allows for quick rush turnaround on a consistent and reliable basis.

BSK supports the energy sector with environmental, geotechnical engineering, materials testing, and special inspection services for renewable and conventional energy projects throughout California. Our teams understand the technical, regulatory, and constructibility challenges unique to energy infrastructure and provide practical, field-tested solutions from early siting and feasibility through construction.

BSK has extensive experience supporting renewable energy development, with a strong concentration in solar projects statewide. Our work includes geotechnical investigations, foundation design support, materials testing, and special inspection services for ground-mounted solar facilities, solar canopies, and associated electrical and civil infrastructure. These projects range from individual installations to large, multi-site programs delivered for public agencies, utilities, school districts, and private developers. We routinely support projects in remote, industrial, and environmentally sensitive locations and coordinate closely with owners, engineers, and contractors to maintain schedules and compliance.

In addition to solar, BSK supports biogas, organic waste-to-energy, and other renewable energy facilities, as well as traditional oil and gas infrastructure, providing consistent technical support across a wide range of energy applications.

Energy Project Experience Includes:

• Solar energy projects, including ground-mounted systems, canopies, and related infrastructure
• Multi-site solar programs for public agencies and institutional clients
• Biogas and organic waste-to-energy facilities
• Energy-related civil and structural infrastructure, including equipment foundations
• Oil and gas facilities and associated site development
• Environmental services supporting siting, permitting, and compliance
• Geotechnical investigations and foundation design support for energy facilities
• Construction-phase materials testing and special inspection services

Through coordinated, multi-discipline delivery, BSK helps energy clients move efficiently from planning and design through construction, with a strong focus on safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term performance.
