How we work

A tailored approach

LimnoTech is one of the country’s leading water sciences and environmental engineering consulting firms. Founded in 1975, the company is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with our Mid-Atlantic regional office in Washington, D.C., and satellite offices in Austin, Texas, Greensboro, North Carolina, and Hudson, Wisconsin (see Where we’re located). Throughout our history, we have been an independent and objective consultant and partner in our teaming relationships with private firms, public entities, research organizations, and universities (see Team with us).

Our policy is to take a tailored approach to each client project. Relying on sound science and technical skill, we help our clients make practical and cost-effective decisions to resolve disputes, achieve regulatory compliance, and protect and improve environmental quality.

Our staff (see Staff description) has a national reputation for the scientific assessment of complex environmental issues and for finding innovative, effective solutions, especially as they relate to the selection and design of management alternatives for the water environment.

LimnoTech’s reputation for excellence, innovation, and service relies on our corporate philosophy of total quality management (TQM). All LimnoTech personnel receive training in the principles and practice of TQM, and virtually every corporate program is conducted in accordance with those principles. The success of our commitment is reflected in consistently high marks for various aspects of management quality in annual client surveys. More than 85% of our contract base comes from repeat clients and referrals.

"The quality of LimnoTech’s work truly makes them stand out from their peers."
