Washington, D.C. and Gaithersburg, MD - PA Consulting Group and SCIENTECH, Inc. (SCIENTECH) today announced their continuing partnership to provide risk evaluation and operational security services for water and wastewater utilities. The two firms, both with significant experience working with local, national, and international utilities, are combining their leading expertise to address concerns regarding North America's infrastructure.
"Given attention to the security of our infrastructure, we are stepping up our efforts to bring our depth of knowledge and breadth of capabilities in working with global companies, including utilities, to identify and alleviate potential threats to their security," noted Alan Ispass, a managing consultant within PA Consulting Group's Infrastructure and Development Services group. "We are pleased to work with industry leaders from SCIENTECH to bring these opportunities to fruition. Their reputation as a premier provider of expert services to energy markets makes this an ideal partnership."
SCIENTECH began collaborating with energy specialist firm Hagler Bailly early in 2000. PA Consulting Group successfully acquired Hagler Bailly later that year, bringing a diverse set of industry expertise and larger group of utility and energy specialists to the relationship.
"PA's reputation of identifying, developing and implementing solutions for the world's leading corporations adds credibility to our partnered endeavor to ensure the security of our continent's utility companies," noted Dan Rees vice-president, Risk and Reliability Services at SCIENTECH. "We look forward to building on our successes and providing vital and timely assessments, evaluations, and solutions to insure the stability and safety of our infrastructure."
PA's Infrastructure and Development Services group works extensively with the U.S. Agency for International Development and The World Bank, providing services to developing and changing infrastructures both domestically and around the world. SCIENTECH brings relationships with a growing and robust portfolio of energy and utility clients, including Dominion Generation, Duke Power, Entergy Nuclear, FirstEnergy, NMC, LLC, and many others.
