Business Philosophy/Project Approach

Client Relationship

From the onset, Farallon’s business approach has been to cultivate a long-term client perspective: working in partnership with each client, becoming familiar with their business goals, and integrating those goals with environmental responsibilities to the maximum extent practicable.  For every project regardless of size Farallon strives to ensure:

·        Fulfillment of client project objectives;

·        Project conformance to regulatory requirements;

·        Client satisfaction with technical performance;

·        Effective communications throughout the project; and

·        Completion of work in a cost-conscious manner within budget.

Regulatory Forefront

Because of the complexity, breadth, and changing nature of the regulations governing environmental projects, a thorough grasp of applicable legal requirements is crucial.  Farallon makes it a priority to maintain a current understanding of federal, state, and local environmental regulations and revisions and their application to client sites.

                                         

Farallon’s technical expertise, regulatory awareness and adherence, and solid job performance have earned the respect and trust of regulators.  At regulatory agency request, Farallon has provided comment for guidance document revision, and in-house instruction for regulatory personnel.

Qualified Staff

The opportunity for professionally accredited staff to advance in their careers is a Farallon hallmark.  The firm makes a concerted effort to pursue and retain technical staff having the educational background, certification, and project experience expected by Clients for an established, highly regarded consulting firm such as Farallon.  The firm’s project level and senior technical personnel typically are licensed in their respective field, and over half hold post-graduate degrees in their area of expertise.  Farallon encourages and supports the professional development of all technical staff working toward licensing in their field of expertise.  In-house resources offer a diverse blend of education, training, and experience in an array of fields that include geology; hydrogeology; engineering geology; civil, chemical, and environmental engineering; chemistry; environmental science, and regulatory compliance.
