ECG is fully committed to provide affordable professional services and technical expertise to the best achievable excellence allowed by the best achievable technology. An Overview of the Firm Government regulations and public awareness has developed to such extent that most of the time the solutions to a technical problem become a very sensitive issue. On the other hand, technical considerations such as environmental impact, socio-economic, health and safety implications often require a multidisciplinary team to evaluate all the angles of a particular situation. Besides the achievement of thorough analysis, the interaction between all these disciplines in the problem solving procedure often results in the identification of cost effective alternatives to choose from. Typically the work team assigned to a particular project includes the appropriate chemistry, engineering, environmental, health & safety disciplines backed by a strong managerial support. The project manager coordinates, administers and supervises the resources assigned to the project to assure that the services being rendered are of the highest quality and that the project is completed on time within a budget. An executive staff member oversees the progress of the project and assures the proper communication between the client and ECG at the executive level. ECG supplements its staff with specialists from its associated firms when deemed necessary to fulfill the requirements of the project. Through this practice, highly specialized skills and talents are incorporated into the project when a particular or unique situation requires special attention. ECG has excellent working relationships with its associated firms and maintains a very effective communication system with them to ensure a prompt response and efficient information exchange. This relationship provides access to highly specialized professionals at very competitive rates since through this arrangement a low overhead cost is maintained. Professional Recognition of the Firm Based upon its hard work, strict observance to professional ethics and government regulations, and the determination to find affordable solutions to the problems it faces, ECG has developed outstanding professional relationships with state and federal regulatory agencies, environmental legal counselors, and other prestigious organizations and institutions. Thanks to this special relationship, ECG has gained a high level of professional confidence from these organizations, but most importantly, from its clients.
