Award-Winning Work
We are the lead consulting firm for the Everglades Construction Project, the largest wetland restoration project in the world. It has involved creation of 45,000 acres of wetlands that have dramatically improved the quality of water flowing into the Flordia Everglades. Our design for this project's Stormwater Treatment Area 3/4 won the American Council of Engineering Companies' Grand Conceptor Award, the top prize in engineering for that year.

We have prepared more than 100 wetland restoration/mitigation plans.
