Dr. Lifrieri was retained by a major utility to provide expert consultation regarding an alleged impact to groundwater levels attributed to the client. The client was alleged to have installed a caisson foundation for a utility pole that reportedly may have caused the groundwater to rise in the proximate area and impact a nearby residence. Dr. Lifrieri performed an investigation of the hydro-geologic conditions of the region and assessed whether or not the construction work was responsible for the alleged rise in the groundwater table.

Dr. Lifrieri was retained by a prominent New Jersey Law Firm on behalf of the County Government to evaluate the costs associated with a portion of the 2011 - 2012 development of an urban park called the Riverfront Park site in Essex County, New Jersey. The County requested that Dr. Lifrieri perform an independent cost breakdown of the actual expenditures the County had made to complete the environmental investigation and remediation of the Rubin Site. The County provided the actual construction costs to construct the cap and Dr. Lifrieri utilized these costs in conjunction with the Environmental Consultant’s costs to establish the total costs expended on this effort. In addition Dr. Lifrieri was asked to evaluate the cost to close the site had the site been used to store tractor trailers and storage containers only.
