"PCCP was a very challenging project with many technically complex issues and a variety of contractual groups involved, including a very involved sponsor. PND provided excellent technical representation and answered questions from senior USACE technical reviewers, as well as a contracted doctoral subject matter expert review – all to full satisfaction. During construction and throughout, PND coordinated with USACE for a safety and reporting plan that had daily and as-needed updates. I was impressed with both their technical capabilities and the ability to adapt to the unique project needs."
