We are participating in webinars and other virtual meetings, as conferences, networking events, and workshops are cancelled .
• Delivering critical path projects. We will continue to conduct field work that can be completed in a manner that complies with local, State, and Federal orders. We have integrated COVID-19 health and safety practices for field work such as social distancing and daily cleaning protocols for offices, vehicles, and equipment. We are also proactively communicating to our clients any potential issues with project delivery.
