“My project experience with Doug Hillman was one of great professional satisfaction. He was always professional and steady in dealing with multiple priorities and stakeholders. Under Doug’s watch, we achieved NFA letters on site remediation projects on our Tacoma property and our leased facility in Spokane. Doug has always provided realistic and direct advice about any number of issues our Company has sought information about, from air quality to wastewater to real estate decisions. I have found Doug’s timelines and cost projections to be accurate and reliable. I am pleased to recommend his services.”

“On behalf of the Des Moines Creek Basin Committee, I whole-eartedly recommend Aspect Consulting for the provision of on-call services relating to tasks involving environmental investigation and remediation of site contamination issues. In their work for the Basin Committee, Aspect Consulting has shown themselves to be diligent, timely and technically proficient. They have worked in a very challenging technical situation and have consistently produced outstanding analysis and documentation while meeting very tight timelines. Their ability to respond quickly, to focus their work on the relevant issues, to deliver the necessary staff and equipment in a timely manner for field operations, and the high quality of their graphic and report preparations has been a substantial boon to the Basin Committee projects. Their work has also occurred in a politically challenging environment, and their ability to foster strong working relationships with both their technical counterparts and the various agency and sponsor management participants has been a major factor in the ability of the Basin Committee to secure timely permits for construction. I have no doubt that, without the assistance of Aspect Consulting, the Basin Committee would not have received the necessary permits in time to allow construction activity in 2004.”

—David Masters, Des Moines Creek Basin Committee

“I have had the pleasure of working with Aspect Consulting on two major water and wastewater tunnel projects over the past few years. Aspect has been responsible for the interpretive geology and hydrogeology in the Puget Sound glacial soils for the ongoing Brightwater Conveyance project in King and Snohomish Counties. As a Technical Review Board member on this project I have been consistently impressed with their understanding and ability to present this complex information in a clear and understandable manner to the tunnel designer and in EIS/Impacts documentation. The most critical element in the success of soft ground (soil) tunnels is a clear understanding of the geology and groundwater conditions, combined with an understanding of their potential impacts on tunnel construction. Based on my 35 years of experience as a geotechnical tunnel engineer in the greater Seattle area, Aspect Consulting is the best that I have seen at assembling this complex picture for tunnels within the Puget Sound glacial soils.”
