Regulatory Compliance
Our regulatory compliance team helps plants meet OSHA, EPA and industry standards and keeps the paperwork ready for an inspector.

Start to finish
Compliance from the first permit to the last report.
The way a facility is permitted shapes what it has to do every year after. For this reason, our regulatory compliance work covers the full life of a permit. That includes applications, planning for new or changed equipment, and yearly reports and plan updates. It also covers the paperwork when a unit is shut down for good.
Our engineers write the technical sections and also handle the filings. That way, one team stays with the project from start to finish.

How an engagement goes
Three steps.
1
Gap review
We compare your written programs to the regulation, then check what happens on the floor.
2
Fix list
Next, you get findings ranked by risk, each with an owner and a suggested date.
3
Stay current
After that, we keep a calendar of permit, report and revalidation dates so that deadlines do not pile up.
