The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), America’s largest municipal utility, requires technical environmental services and permitting assistance to maintain infrastructure to deliver 8,000 megawatts of electricity and over 200 billion gallons of water to more than 1.5 million customers in southern California.

Why does this project matter?

Providing water and electricity to millions of consumers requires continuous repair, maintenance, and upgrades to hundreds of facilities; thousands of miles of electric transmission lines and water pipelines; as well as the planning and construction of new facilities.
