Natural Resource Group L.L.C. would like to recognize SCI Engineering for their outstanding performance on a recent pipeline project. We looked to SCI to provide wetland and waterbody delineations and habitat evaluations for NEPA compliance along a corridor stretching close to 200 miles. We were very impressed with SCI’s ability to handle a large project such as this so effectively and efficiently. A project of this scale requires constant communication, attention to detail, adaptability, and on-the-fly troubleshooting, all of which SCI provided. Several times throughout the project, SCI supplied additional manpower to meet strict deadlines and implemented creative strategies to increase performance. Their knowledge of federal regulations and requirements helped to streamline the project and save on costs. We value the relationship that we have developed with SCI and look forward to working together on future projects.

“SCI Engineering, Inc.’s performance in providing quality assurance testing for the construction of the MidAmerica St. Louis Airport General Aviation Apron project was exceptional.

“Our office has worked closely with SCI Engineering, Inc. on approximately 70 job sites over the past year. Their work for us has covered Phase I and II Environmental Assessments, NEPA reports, Section 106 reports, architecture and archaeology studies, and Memorandums of Agreement.

Since we have such stringent deadlines to get our sites on the air, their willingness to produce the necessary manpower and equipment in order to achieve that goal helps us to stay on target. The quality of their workmanship combined with the ability to effectively manage timelines makes them our preferred consultant.”

“Your expertise and skill when handling the wetlands permitting was highly impressive, and we were thoroughly satisfied with your performance.

During the wetlands permitting stage, we discovered that we would have to submit a bioengineering plan to the Corps of Engineers for a nationwide permit. . . Not only did you develop an acceptable plan, you also took into consideration cost factors and were able to save us several thousand dollars. To us, that is the sign of a company who is truly committed to the needs of their client.

“Vantage Homes would like to thank SCI Engineering, Inc. for your work on a recent wetland delineation and permit application. We were very pleased with the knowledge and expertise that you demonstrated during this project. . . We were highly impressed that SCI chose to provide us with the most cost-effective and beneficial solution to this project, even though it meant they would make less money themselves. It is rare to find a company who puts their clients’ interests before their own, and SCI has proven to us that they truly want to provide their clients with the best possible solutions on their projects.”

“This letter is written to express my personal appreciation and that of the entire Fort Zumwalt School District for the services your firm has provided the district throughout the massive building program we have been engaged in over the past decade. . . [SCI] has provided the vast majority of these projects with geotechnical and materials testing services necessary to assure a quality and structural sound project.

With the district’s 20 plus years of experience with [SCI], I really wouldn’t consider going forward with any project with which I had concerns with the soil conditions on site. While the fees your company charges are not the most important consideration in selecting a soils engineering firm, it is important to me that you have consistently been competitive when multiple quotes for services have been requested.”

“Taylor Morley Homes recently retained SCI Engineering to provide geotechnical, environmental, archaeology, and wetland services on our Hearthstone project in O’Fallon, Illinois. I would like to personally thank SCI for the excellent service that was provided throughout this project. . .

I found it extremely convenient to work with a firm who can provide all the services that SCI offers. It is reassuring to receive a single scope of services from a company that covers all the preliminary design due-diligence, such as wetlands, environmental, archaeological and geotechnical consulting. Furthermore, I look forward to continuing to work with SCI through construction testing as we proceed with the development of the site.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and SCI Engineering for your recent efforts towards the on-time completion of the Target Store at Green Mount Crossing Drive in Shiloh, Illinois. Thank you and the entire SCI team for an outstanding effort.

SCI’s commitment to quality and service was evident throughout the project. Your attention to client satisfaction proved to be a most helpful resource for me. I was able to call on you anytime with confidence.

I would also like to thank the SCI technicians for their work. I am most appreciative of their attention to detail, safety and cost. They understood the importance of maintaining our construction schedule and always kept me informed with timely reports, often stopping by my office for a one-to-one update.”

We have had a long-standing relationship with your firm and have always been most pleased with the professionalism and experience of SCI. You and the entire SCI team are always extremely responsive and have a true understanding of the importance of schedules. In our business of commercial development, we are usually working on a tight schedule and often need reports “yesterday.”I know we can count on SCI to respond in the fastest time possible and that I can count on the agreed on delivery date. . .

“Thank you for your professional approach to the investigation for [Upper Bridgeton Site]. We appreciate the technical expertise, sense of urgency, openness and common sense that you brought to the archaeological investigations of the site. This project was under substantial time and monetary constraints and you were able to develop an approach to investigating the site that was both meaningful and cost effective.

Your assistance in negotiating the regulatory compliance jungle surrounding the archaeological issues on this site was a valuable asset to the project team. Your entire staff worked in a professional, untiring manner to complete the fieldwork in the scheduled time frame, through a less than desirable season of the year. They should all be commended for their efforts.”
