What We Do
Integrated solutions in planning, data analytics, environmental, engineering, and communications
We founded our company on our ability to accurately characterize and efficiently clean up contaminated sites. We continue to help owners and potential buyers assess their properties’ readiness for purchase or evaluate the necessity for strategic cleanups focused on reuse. Our approach puts your vision at the front to ensure that the project meets your needs, earns the support of communities and regulators, and is well-positioned for its new uses.
For nearly 30 years, MFA has been designing and implementing effective solutions for brownfield sites to minimize liability and maximize return on investments. We help public and private investors ensure that their brownfield redevelopment projects protect public health and the environment; foster investment; and create long-term improvements in housing, jobs, recreational opportunities, open spaces, and public facilities. We have helped clients secure funding to fully realize redevelopment. Our integrated approach puts your vision at the front to ensure a process that meets your needs, earns the support of communities and regulators, and is well-positioned for its new uses.
We're a full-service environmental compliance science and engineering firm that helps you plan for air and water and solid waste services ranging from permitting to ongoing compliance. We provide solutions to your compliance issues so you can focus on your business.
When it comes to site development, there isn’t a project quite like yours. We are small enough to give your project the attention it deserves and large enough to offer full-service planning, engineering, and permitting. We excel at the early identification of issues and opportunities, and our strong relationships with teaming partners and permitting agencies help us provide you with cost-effective designs and faster results.
Successful community planning is both an art and a science—combining equal parts creativity, vision, and nuanced understanding of the regulatory frameworks that dictate how, where, and when our communities grow. At Maul Foster & Alongi, we provide comprehensive solutions to communities of all sizes by combining decades of experience across an array of disciplines with our client-focused approach.
Every successful project or initiative includes effective communication. MFA’s seasoned communicators, facilitators, and visual designers have decades of experience working on public and private projects of all sizes and sectors. Our communications team provides the perspective and experience of a big firm but with a boutique firm’s tailored approach and attention to client needs. Whether working on a stand-alone engagement project or providing strategic communications to support a multidisciplinary effort, our communications specialists help our clients improve internal processes, engage external audiences, and tell compelling stories with words and visuals.
Our Geographic Information Systems (GIS) experts, data analysts, demographers, planners, and environmental scientists help make sense of the data you have, collect the data you need, and discover the data you didn’t know existed. Data in hand, we transform them into actionable information by building tailored solutions that reveal the insights you need to drive organizational success.
Climate resiliency and environmental justice are central to the purpose behind our work. We help private clients navigate the regulatory and permitting landscapes in the Pacific Northwest in order to site, design, permit, and build clean energy facilities and mitigate the effects of climate change at existing sites. We help public entities understand and meet new climate requirements and engage their communities in equitable planning and co-creation processes. Whether you are a port or city responding to new climate requirements, or a company or utility with ESG and sustainability goals, our diverse technical expertise and decades of experience make us an invaluable partner in your success.
