These projects have involved over 100 cell tower sites in Missouri and Illinois.

Nextel commented, "The quality of their workmanship combined with the ability to effectively manage timelines makes them our preferred consultant."

Sprint PCS
SCI was retained by Sprint PCS to complete Phase One Environmental Site Assessments, Section 106 Notification Forms, NEPA Questionnaires, Cultural Resource Surveys, Architectural Surveys and View Shed Analyses. These projects have involved over 50 cell tower sit es in Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska.

SCI successfully assisted Spring PCS with a cell tower antenna that was placed inside a cupola on a National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) building. The building in Omaha, Nebraska is considered an NRHP facility, so approval was required by the Nebraska State Historical Society. Sprint was faced with the difficult task of trying to find a suitable location for a tower in the area that would not be visible from the NRHP structures.

SCI was able to negotiate with the Historic Preservation Office to install the antennae equipment within the building itself. This was ac complished by installing the cellular tower antenna inside the building's cupola, while maintaining the identical physical appearance of the building. To do this, the existing wooden slats were replaced with more RF-friendly material that still matched the original appearance.

SBA, Inc.
SBA, Inc., a wireless communications consultant, was retained by Nextel Communications, Inc. SCI was contracted by SBA to perform Phase One Environmental Site Assessments at 35 sites that extended from St. Louis through Oklahoma and near the Texas-Oklahoma border. Our Geotechnical Services Group performed investigations for 20 of those sites in Missouri.

Steinman Partnership
SCI was retained to perform environmental and geotechnical services at approximately six sites around the St. Louis area. The environmental assessments and geotechnical investigations performed were very similar to those detailed above for SBA, Inc.

Jamie Cannon and Associates, Inc. (Now DEA Architects, Inc.)

SCI's geotechnical services for this project primarily related to self-support towers and associated small buildings. Geotechnical services performed were similar to those outlined for SBA, Inc. Two of the locations were SBC towers while the remainder was related to Nextel Communications, Inc.

Terracon
SCI completed Section 106 Notification Forms and performed Cultural Resource Surveys at approximately 30 sites. We were under contract for these services with Terracon, who is retained directly by Sprint.

ATC
SCI completed Cultural Resource Surveys for ATC, who is retained by directly by Sprint. Surveys have already been completed at approximately 50 sites.

Lebarge Clayco Wireless, L.L.C.
SCI performed Construction Services at eight sites in Missouri for Lebarge Clayco Wireless, L.L.C. These services included foundation excavation observations, steel reinforcement observations, concrete testing services and compaction testing of soil fill and aggregate base materials.

Broadlawns Medical Complex
Construction of a new cellular tower in central Iowa disturbed a site that destroyed one unrecorded prehistoric mound and damaged a second. The goal of this project was deconstruction of the cellular tower and restoration of the mounds. Paramount to the success of this project was the ability of very diverse groups, including Native Americans, archaeologists, county, state and federal agencies, and private industry, to work together. As the archaeological consultant, part of SCI's responsibility included cultural resource consultation between these groups.

In addition, SCI performed an archaeological survey of the entire knoll or finger ridge upon which the tower had been constructed and also examined the fill dirt that would be used to rebuild Mound Two, repair Mound One, and landscape the area around the two mounds. Dr. Dasovich was also heavily involved in the process of reviewing the grading plan and site sculpting during restoration.

The end result of the project was possibly the first mound building episode in hundreds of years. SCI's efforts on this project helped turn an unmitigated disaster into a multilateral success story. Dr. Dasovich later published an article titled, "Cell Towers and Mound Builders: A Successful Conclusion in Iowa," in Volume 50, 2003 edition of the Journal of the Iowa Archeological Society.
