Design and Consulting Services Segment
The DCS segment comprises a broad array of services, generally provided on
a fee-for-service basis. These services include planning, consulting, architectural
and engineering design, program management and construction management for industrial,
commercial, institutional and government clients worldwide. For each of these
services, our technical expertise includes civil, structural, process, mechanical,
geotechnical systems and electrical engineering, architectural, landscape and
interior design, urban and regional planning, project economics, cost consulting
and environmental, health and safety work.
With our technical and management expertise, we are able to provide our clients
a broad spectrum of services. For example, within our environmental management
service offerings, we provide remediation, regulatory compliance planning and
management, environmental modeling, environmental impact assessment and environmental
permitting for major capital/infrastructure projects.
Our services may be sequenced over multiple phases. For example, in the area
of program management and construction management services, our work for a client
may begin with a small consulting or planning contract, and may later develop
into an overall management role for the project or a series of projects, which
we refer to as a program. Program and construction management contracts typically
employ a staff of 10 to more than 100 and, in many cases, operate as an outsourcing
arrangement with our staff located at the project site.
