About HydroQual 
The management of environmental concerns is now an important component of the business plans of most industries and a priority item on the agendas of governmental agencies. In a world of increasingly competing demands for financial resources, it is essential that environmental problems be correctly analyzed, defined and understood so that effective solutions are selected. Environmental decisions have a profound effect on the ability of companies to compete and remain profitable and on governments to provide required services. At HydroQual we recognize and work with these demands on every project we undertake.


 


HydroQual, an ENR Environmental 200 firm, is a privately-owned environmental engineering and consulting firm established in 1980. The firm specializes in mathematical modeling to evaluate the fate and transport of pollutants and the effect of their presence in natural water systems, the assessment and optimization of water and wastewater treatment processes, environmental hydrodynamics and sediment transport modeling, natural resource investigations and hydrogeological and engineering services for site remediation. The firm provides a wide range of integrated science and engineering consulting services to public and industrial clients world-wide.

The application of innovative science and engineering to the solution of environmental and engineering problems is one of our guiding principles. HydroQual continually invests its resources in the development and refinement of new and unique technologies. As a result, the firm applies innovative tools and technical resources to evaluate, define and solve specific problems. HydroQual's national and international reputation is based on this pursuit of cost-effective and technically defensible solutions to environmental problems.

Our Commitment to Quality (back to top)
Quality is the foundation of our business and client satisfaction is our top priority. Our work products have to meet the test of quality at every level. We follow the simple principle of continuous improvement and we work with our clients to help them integrate quality management approaches into their operations. We help our clients develop sophisticated monitoring and measuring tools to track their progress. Quality assurance begins with the assignment of an individual to a project team and extends to all aspects of our business. Quality assurance is achieved by:

  • Understanding the client's needs and developing a program that meets the overall project objectives;
  • Collecting and analyzing data in a rationale engineering framework for compliance with generally accepted engineering practices and historical data; and
  • Having the work product undergo a detailed technical and editorial review so that is accurate, complete, and meets the clients objectives.

The quality of our work is best demonstrated by the large number of repeat clients who have entrusted their environmental needs to HydroQual.


 

Our Integrity (back to top)
Integrity like quality is at the heart of the firm. Integrity guides every business decision and is expressed in the way our employees conduct their work each and every day with our clients. Integrity is essential in every business but it is critical in the environmental consulting business where health and safety, criminal and civil liabilities and the public interest are at stake. HydroQual has established procedures for performing work with a high degree of corporate and personal confidentiality.

Purchasing environmental engineering and consulting services should never be confused with purchasing a commodity. HydroQual is committed to providing our clients with the highest level of service and expertise. We stand behind this commitment and are available to discuss your needs at any given time. We recognize that our growth is directly attributable to consistently meeting and/or exceeding our client's needs and expectations. Our guarantee - we will deliver engineering that matters, analysis and models that simplify decision-making, and science based solutions that work.
