WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“Hanson has served Vistra well in numerous engineering areas. Their team develops expertise by hiring experienced professionals with knowledge and relationships with regulatory agencies and also training staff in the same areas. For us, this type of experience and knowledge is invaluable.”
Victor Modeerengineering manager, geoscience, Vistra Corp.
We bring specialized experience to projects involving the management of coal combustion residuals (CCR) from power-generating facilities. Our involvement includes site evaluations and alternatives analyses; design; permitting; construction and monitoring of dry landfills, ash ponds, gypsum stacks and associated structures; as well as beneficial-use projects. We also provide design, permitting and construction-phase services for the closure of ash ponds and other ash-disposal facilities. Additionally, Hanson offers specialized services including environmental and hydrogeologic impact studies and closure plans, as well as implementation and long-term monitoring.
Our team has the experience and skills to overcome your challenges related to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Final Rule” regulating utility-generated CCR. We also offer waste management services to a variety of clients in communications, industrial, utility, petroleum and government sectors.

Sustainability matters to you, and we understand its significance. That’s why we provide the support you need for renewable energy projects. We specialize in solar, wind and sustainable energy initiatives, with extensive experience in all stages of the project lifecycle, from early planning and agency coordination to land acquisition, permitting, civil design and construction contract administration. We confirm your compliance with federal, state and local regulations while offering construction support that helps manage site development costs.
When you need technical design for gravity and anchored wind turbine foundation designs, associated public road improvements, geotechnical studies and post-construction crop damage evaluations, we deliver high-quality results on your timeline. We also assist you with environmental studies, stakeholder engagement and bird and bat mortality surveys, meeting all aspects of sustainability and regulatory requirements for wind energy projects.
If your interest lies in solar energy, our interdisciplinary team of engineers and consultants will work closely with you to develop customized site layouts, conduct geotechnical evaluations, design stormwater management systems and oversee construction quality assurance. You can also depend on us for a full range of related services, from alternative analyses and site selection to environmental impact assessments and land acquisition. Our experienced team members facilitate public engagement activities, navigate complex permitting processes and provide comprehensive surveying as needed.
If engineer-led design-build is the ideal delivery for your project, we also offer microengineering, procurement and construction oversight for the turnkey delivery of solar and battery storage projects. With engineer-led design-build projects, we can integrate our project team through completion. Using this model, we can eliminate upcharges, reduce your costs by procuring equipment directly and maintain consistency by staying on board through project commissioning.
Sustainability matters to you, and your success in achieving it matters to us.

Navigating complex transmission and distribution (T&D) project landscapes can be a time-consuming and stressful process, but our experienced team will make a path for you. From evaluating potential routes to aligning your project with regulatory requirements and facilitating stakeholder engagement, our broad knowledge of local and federal permitting processes helps you streamline project approvals and gain critical public support.
In addition to planning and permitting services, we provide robust design and construction-phase support, including geotechnical, electrical, structural and civil engineering capabilities. When you partner with us, you benefit from our proprietary SPEED® program, which rapidly evaluates subsurface conditions and allows us to efficiently design location-specific foundations. Our engineers employ local contractors to conduct subsurface investigations, analyze soil and foundation conditions and provide solutions for floodway construction and river engineering as the infrastructure traverses these areas. With our nationwide presence and collaborative approach, we can mobilize quickly while offering the personalized attention your project needs.
With advanced hydraulic modeling and Federal Emergency Management Agency study experience, as well as construction-phase quality control and road monitoring services, we design your T&D projects to meet safety, efficiency and regulatory standards. We also provide the land acquisition and real estate surveying services T&D projects often require, with specialized staff members who manage the delicate process of property acquisition. With a focus on maintaining project schedules and budgets, our land acquisition professionals work closely with property owners to negotiate easements and crop damage assessment assistance when necessary. Our extensive experience in these areas can help you navigate the legal, logistical and interpersonal challenges of acquiring land for T&D infrastructure.

“I joined Hanson after gaining experience with another firm because of its excellent technical reputation, sometimes referred to by other organizations as ‘a consultant’s consultant.’ I left the company after 10 years to move back ‘home’ but returned to Hanson less than 2 years later because of the people and clients – and that was 25 years ago! It has been easy to stay with Hanson, with hard-working, dedicated colleagues and fantastic clients with interesting project challenges.”
“One of the best parts of a project is watching what has been in my mind, on paper or in the computer model come to life.”
Our energy services are rooted in sustainability. We combine innovation with practical knowledge and experience to give you a result that improves your power systems while considering market trends. Energize your future with us!
Hanson’s commitment to our clients reflects our allegiance to our most valued asset — our employee-owners. We invest in you. Find out how you can forge your path with us.
