Noteworthy work includes hydropower infrastructure—designing tunnels, shafts, caverns, and optimizing existing assets—such as PG&E’s Helms Pumped Storage Project in California.

We are solutions-oriented consultants, with a culture that emphasizes quality and responsiveness.
We like to "get our boots dirty" meaning we know that practical and constructable solutions come from experience with the construction process.
Employee-owned firm encouraging an entrepreneurial spirit and helping team members forge their own paths.
Work hard, care about each other, and also have fun—socializing and celebrating achievements at summer picnics, holiday parties, and company outings.
Everyone in this company is tops in their field technically; a really collegial culture with freedom to do your work without unnecessary bureaucracy.
