Energy Production and Distribution
Energy companies face the public’s dual expectation of reliable low-cost energy and high environmental quality. We help companies meet this challenge with services ranging from advanced siting to construction compliance monitoring. We assist oil and gas companies with obtaining permits for exploration and drilling, and we prepare necessary surveys and documents for inter/intrastate pipeline plans, windpower and hydropower production plans, and electric transmission and generation facilities.
