Wind Resource Specialist

~ Pioneering work in renewable energy began in the mid-1980s with Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) in the Mojave Desert. SEGS VIII and IX were the largest solar thermal power plants in the world when they went on line in 1989 and 1990 at 80 MW each. They continue to be among the world’s largest solar thermal power plants. ~

Overall, we have engineered 958 power plant units and more than 6,200 circuit miles of power delivery systems. Many authorizations have been innovative power generation and transmission “firsts.” Many more weren’t milestone undertakings, but instead were simply good, solid projects carefully engineered to meet the needs of their owners. We also have worked extensively to help our clients improve their existing assets, providing engineering as well as professional consulting services for several thousand installations.

Our focus on the power business remains unchanged. We’re still working with our first client as well as with many other long-time clients. We have earned this extensive repeat business through our technical and project management know-how, our agility in meeting clients’ evolving needs, and our integrity for acting in the best interests of each client.

With our comprehensive services, we have worked with more than 1,600 clients in 91 countries… and still counting.
