We are a small but specialized engineering consulting firm located in Southern West Virginia. Our previous experience working in the extractive industries and past consulting worlds provide us with the opportunity to support mineral owners in the Appalachian Basin. The vast majority of our work is performed in-house by two experienced professionals. As a result, you can rest assured that your project is performed and managed by experienced professionals versus larger companies where a project manager oversees work performed by entry level employees.
