The Vision:

With limited information and limited time, we end up with designs that force upon our industries and our human activities a need to regulate the external burdens we should otherwise be designing out of our productive processes.  My job as a consultant and engineer is to provide solutions that reduce regulatory burden and improve overall efficiency wherever possible by creating  well designed local industrial and human ecologies, and eliminating waste.  Zero waste, old fashioned thrift and excellent innovative designs.  That is what I believe in and what I want to deliver.

The Company:

Chatham Environmental Consulting is an engineering firm focusing on environmental projects for industrial, commercial, educational and residential clients. The core business of the firm is assisting client decision making and negotiation for waste water design and permitting, energy efficiency projects, planning, design, and delivery of engineering projects.  I have a strong background in applied research and operational support in various industries including biofuels, metals processing and food processing.  I am a registered Professional Engineer and have close relationships with energy auditing firms, industrial controls and design/build machine shops.  My experience spans the breadth of environmental issues including, soil, water and air protection, energy efficiency, hydraulic systems, sustainable design, and community scale infrastructure.  Finally, I am available for CAD drafting support.

I provide an efficient way for my clients to complete their engineering projects, environmental planning and capital upgrades.   I am open to alternative and performance based contracting mechanisms.  Just because I am an engineer doesn't mean you can't afford to call me.  I am not going to send you a bill that you can't pay and that you don't feel like you got what you needed.  I want to make everyone I work with happy that they chose me to complete their engineering projects. 

Capabilities:

Environmental engineering, CAD drafting experience, wastewater design and engineering, stormwater design, Spill Pollution Containment and Countermeasure plans, process design, water and wastewater treatment problem solving, environmental monitoring and field work, permit negotiation, flood plain modeling and environmental expert witnessing.

The Goal:

Chatham Environmental Consulting, PLLC utilizes the experience of its founder and connections across multiple industries to develop financially and environmentally beneficial relationships for its clients by identifying and negotiating productive uses of industrial products, improving process efficiency, designing elegant solutions and working with my clients to save them money, time and reduce their environmental impacts..  As a matter of course, my method of doing business should reduce the regulatory burden of my clients wherever possible.
