To meet the demands of a changing energy industry, CEC’s multi-disciplined team of scientists, professionals and engineers assists clients with management of coal combustion residuals (CCRs), producing cost-effective solutions.
As coal-fired power plants continue to produce large volumes of CCRs, including bottom ash, fly ash, slag, and FGD by-products, it remains important to develop solutions that balance environmental regulations and adeptly manage risk.
CEC’s team of senior professionals combines experience and knowledge of CCR disposal and beneficial use projects to develop industry-leading solutions. CEC works with the Power Industry in all aspects of environmental engineering, waste management unit design and closure, siting, permitting, water resource management, ecological permitting including wetlands delineation, and construction quality assurance.
