Higgins and Associates utilizes standard practices and quality control procedures for the monitoring and collection of data from project sites. These procedures help to ensure that the data is of high quality and usable in the evaluation of a project. Higgins and Associates staff has extensive experience in the maintenance and repair of remedial equipment. This experience is applied to all projects to ensure that the equipment is maintained properly for long service life. However, if a piece of equipment does fail, the system in many instances can be repaired on-site or brought back to our facility for repairs, reducing the time frame that the equipment is down.
