Size and Scope
Evergreen serves industrial clients and locations in the Pacific Northwest, throughout the United States, and around the world.
Evergreen has completed thousands of projects, with engineering fees ranging from under $1,000 to several million dollars U.S. We are not too large to assist our clients with smaller projects when they need us, and we have proven our ability to effectively execute large projects in locations as distant as Eastern Canada and throughout the United States.
Flexibility
In many ways, Evergreen stands as a contradiction to the general myth that an engineering services company must be big to be diverse, and that in order to succeed, a medium-sized engineering company must have a specialized niche. However, we do have specialized expertise in some areas. For example …
- Pulp & paper: woodyard/chip uniformity systems
- Wood products: industrial panel plants, engineered wood products, alternative fibers, urban wood, emission controls
- Fab retrofits, utilities, HVAC, tool installations
- “H” occupancies
Our real strength lies in our ability to apply our core engineering disciplines and project management skills to a wide spectrum of applications.
Evergreen provides close, on-site support for local/regional projects, and has developed efficient and effective methods to coordinate and complete projects at a distance …
Using today’s technology, we can coordinate engineering drawings and documentation via the Internet, sometimes actually benefiting from the difference in time zones.
Weekly progress meetings, and even key project reviews, can be completed via teleconferencing, with emailed progress reports, documentation, and action lists, significantly reducing travel time and expenses. We have established Internet FTP for easy and fast transfer of very large files.
We provide the same level of close teamwork and coordination with our clients regardless of whether the project is small and local or large and distant.
Quality
The keystone to the success of Evergreen has always been, “The best reward for good work is more work.”
More than 95% of Evergreen’s business is repeat and referral. We get repeat and referral business by providing timely, superior products and services with value. This means that we listen carefully to our clients so that we understand what needs to be done; we develop and coordinate design and documentation; and we deliver the right design package on time and within budget.
Evergreen has developed a comprehensive set of Project Management Procedures for two levels of projects: simplified procedures for small projects and more complete procedures/documentation for medium to large projects. This is to ensure:
- Consistent, effective technical, schedule, and fiscal management of resources.
- Effective teamwork and close coordination with the Client, its project team, and Evergreen’s project team.
- Efficient design development, documentation, and delivery.
- Level of detail appropriate to the size and complexity of the project.
Evergreen also developed and maintains a comprehensive, effective system of Quality Control that includes
- Dedicated checking department
- CAD procedures manual
- Standard specifications (CSI)
- Client standards and specifications as appropriate
- Scheduled training for CAD designers and drafters
Our QC system is so effective that Evergreen has been hired by major industrial clients to develop CAD procedures and standards for their companies.
