Solid Waste
Sustainably and cost-effectively managing waste materials has become increasingly difficult as existing facilities approach capacity, available land resources diminish, and as there is greater emphasis on reuse and recycling. ARM’s solid waste customers benefit from highly responsive service from engineers with personalities, creative technical solutions from industry leaders, and regulatory knowledge and relationships that get projects approved and built faster. ARM’s solid waste engineers have the unique ability to see challenges from the owner’s perspective, which helps us provide integrated, cost-effective, constructible solutions without hand holding so that our clients can focus on other job demands with the peace of mind of knowing that the engineering, compliance, and construction of their capital projects is in good hands.
