NGE

NGE is an employee-owned environmental and geotechnical engineering consulting firm serving infrastructure, energy, industrial and commercial development projects. Established in 2002, the company combines engineering design, environmental regulatory support, subsurface investigation and field implementation. Its operations in Pennsylvania and West Virginia support work across the Appalachian Basin.

The firm brings together consulting and practical investigation capabilities through its own drilling crews, testing laboratories and field equipment. This integrated approach supports projects that require both engineering recommendations and the collection, testing and interpretation of soil, rock and construction-material data. NGE describes its operating model as combining direct access to senior management and personalized service with the management systems and safety programmes associated with larger multidisciplinary firms.

Engineering and construction support

NGE investigates ground conditions and develops recommendations for foundations, retaining structures, slopes and landslide remediation. Its work includes subsurface exploration, soil and rock characterization, foundation analysis, pile drivability analysis and slope stability modelling. Construction support extends to fill placement monitoring, compaction testing, concrete and aggregate testing, foundation bearing verification, and inspection of drilled piers and driven piles.

The company serves transportation agencies, public infrastructure owners, utilities, energy developers and commercial clients. Its markets include bridges and highways, airport infrastructure, industrial sites, retail development and abandoned mine land reclamation.

Environmental compliance and field services

NGE helps clients manage air, water, waste and spill-prevention obligations. Its environmental practice covers permitting, multimedia compliance audits, regulatory reporting, environmental management systems and emergency response planning. Work includes Title V air reporting, stormwater and industrial wastewater permitting, spill prevention plans and environmental due diligence.

Field services extend to contaminated soil and groundwater remediation, installation and operation of remediation systems, environmental construction, drill cuttings management and pit closures. The firm also provides industrial waste consulting and remediation involving technically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material.

In 2022, the founders transferred 100% of the company's equity to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan trust, establishing full employee ownership and supporting the firm's continued independence.
