In a competitive market, meeting in-service schedules is more important than ever, and E & E understands that this represents significant savings to our clients. We apply our experience on some 50,000 miles of pipeline systems, many of which went to construction in environments ranging from the Arctic to the tropics, to lead industry and government in the full range of environmental services. We develop streamlined permitting processes and work efficiently to integrate regulatory requirements and environmental and social mitigation into pipeline design and construction.
