Conserving Natural Resources for Future Generations

We collaborate with our clients and the community to provide forward- thinking solutions that benefit our dynamic ecosystem.

Our founders became engineers and scientists out of a deep and abiding commitment to serving as environmental stewards and preserving natural resources for future generations. This vision has guided our growth and informs our work. We believe that in addition to fostering innovation and smart environmental and engineering solutions, four things make us successful, desirable partners:

• A clear focus on and responsiveness to our clients’ needs
• A dedication to the scientific method and ethical application of scientific and engineering principles
• A commitment to our communities and the protection of people, prosperity, and the planet
• Our belief that it is never too late to right a wrong — the restoration of the environment can be successfully achieved through a combination of science and will.

Client Focused Solutions

Putting the Client First. Northgate has a strong reputation for technical excellence and is committed to quality and efficiency in responding to our clients’ needs. Through our understanding of regulatory requirements, broad technical expertise, and collaborative approach, we can successfully resolve the most challenging environmental issues. Professionalism, respect for our clients’ goals, and technical expertise are the building blocks of every project. We work diligently to understand our clients’ needs and know that this understanding—and flexibility to adapt—is what leads to lasting relationships and successful outcomes. We’re not simply waiting to talk. We’re listening.

Philosophy Into Practice

Going beyond Compliance. We’re in this for the long haul. Northgate is committed to sustainable business practices that enhance our current operations without compromising the welfare of future generations. We express our commitment through pollution prevention and waste minimization, efficient use of resources, fiscal responsibility, and environmental knowledge and awareness, both in the office and at the site. The environment is complex, deadlines loom, and regulations abound. Northgate excels at meeting these challenges and exceeding our clients’ expectations. Our approach always begins with our clients’ business objectives. We design each project holistically, considering exit strategies and end-uses up front. Understanding where we are and where we’re going ensures that we get there safely and efficiently.

Sustainability

• Promoting sustainability through prevention of pollution, elimination of waste, efficient use of natural and financial resources, and environmental knowledge and awareness
• Seeking ways to go beyond current environmental regulations to benefit our clients, the environment, our community, and our staff
• Continually challenging our staff to develop new and more efficient practices to improve the environment
