President's Business Philosophy
TGE's primary objective is to listen to its clients needs, prepare a scope of work, implement the plan, analyze
the results, and explain the information that is most critical in the client's decision-making
process in an easy-to-understand fashion.
The primary difference in the way TGE conducts
business is that TGE listens to the goals and purpose of the client in conducting the environmental investigation and establishes
the realistic objectives that the client anticipates from work
performed up front. Client goals may be as easily defined as implementing a standard practice or protocol within a reasonable time
frame or as challenging as devising a streamlined industry-specific plan of investigation within an expedited time frame which focuses resources and efforts to define predominant areas of risk.
Project efforts are executed with urgency, diligence, and high ethical standards. Data is gathered, analyzed, and presented in a
comprehensive yet understandable report designed to meet client needs. Reports are prepared by those who visited the target property and conducted
the associated research, lending a critical element of consistency to the project and minimizing the chance of error. Technical reports are subjected to rigorous peer review by a minimum of two senior professionals
in order to concur with project methodology, validity of results, and interpretation of data. Final reports are submitted under no less than two signatures, one
of which is always a principal of the firm.
As an outgrowth of TGE's
quality of service, many national, publicly traded companies
with recurring environmental needs regard TGE as an "in-house" environmental department and part of their corporate management team. This environmental resource management approach meets the demanding needs of corporate growth while conservatively and effectively controlling the client's cost.
