We provide cultural and heritage resources consulting services to help you plan your project around archaeological sites, historic properties, traditional cultural properties, and other cultural and heritage resources constraints.

Our extensive experience and connections with regulatory agencies and tribes allow us to navigate our clients around potential pitfalls and ensure that projects run smoothly and on track.

Our maritime archaeologists are among a select group of individuals with the skills and access to equipment that allows us to perform all types of underwater investigations. We deploy in-house remote sensing technology and diving equipment to collect data, adjust surveys in real-time, and ensure all archaeological work is completed on time and within budget.

We can overcome the challenges in any maritime environment to satisfy the cultural resource regulations applicable to your project. From literature searches to data recovery, our work has taken us to the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific seaboards, the Great Lakes, and the Caribbean in support of dredging and harbor operations, offshore wind development, fiber optic cable route surveys, and much more.

We assist our clients with detailed historical evaluations of the built environment, including residential structures, historic districts, commercial buildings, farmsteads, industrial complexes, bridges, water conveyance structures, and military installations.

Our expert team meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards under history and architectural history (as defined in 36 CFR 61).

Our services include high-level technological and digital solutions to preservation issues, such as 3D modeling, as well as more traditional approaches such as site stabilization and the documentation of oral histories. PaleoWest employs all-digital data capture and processing techniques for all aspects of cultural resources management, and effectively leverages these techniques to provide cutting-edge, non-destructive, preservation services.

Our clients in Heritage Preservation have included various tribes such as the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe in Colorado and the Cahuilla Band of Mission Indians in California, the City of San Francisco, the City of St. Augustine, Alabama, state granting agencies such as the Colorado State Historical Fund, private developers, and federal agencies such as the BLM and the Department of Defense, who contract with us to complete Section 110 preservation and stabilization projects.

Our staff regularly support clients from initial baseline studies right through the construction process by providing pre-construction worker training, developing mitigation monitoring plans, and working side by side with construction personnel to see clients’ project through to ribbon cutting.

Our construction monitors are polite, professional, prepared, and work safely with our construction team partners to monitor sensitive resources and expedite any discoveries during the construction process. We know construction and we keep your project moving forward and on track.
