Engineering/Consultation

As a technically competent engineering and construction contractor, Opal can characterize sites, perform investigations and provide engineering designs and consulting services for our clients. After completion of the design, the project team can continue with construction oversight and management services in the field or construct the project on a design/build basis using our in-house construction personnel.  In addition to the scientific and engineering consulting services, Opal routinely provides construction consultation including master planning, budgeting, scheduling and expert witness testimony.
