Within its claims support service area, EXCALIBURspecializes in claim issues / resolution involving petroleum underground storage tanks (USTs). Over the past 16 years, EXCALIBUR has provided scientific professional support services for over one thousand petroleum contamination claims for a reputable $300M state UST Fund bringing to bear on each and every claim the company’s first-hand experience in UST release investigations, engineering, and innovative remedial actions and compliance strategies.
To date, EXCALIBUR has saved insurance clients over $20M in unjustified or unsubstantiated environmental costs, and has never lost one case where their opinion and findings were formally challenged. Some of the more common reimbursement claim problems discovered by EXCALIBUR have included: ineligible claims based on forensic & other analyses, cleanups extending beyond what is necessary to meet more lenient risk-based clean-up standards; inappropriate field investigation approaches, analytical techniques and remedial technologies; improper blurring of reimbursable environmental activities with non-reimbursable activities (e.g., eligible soil remediation vs. ineligible site construction preparation for redevelopment); excessive environmental monitoring; overstated remedial and construction costs; and improper environmental project/unit costs.
