Hollaway has been amazing to work with. Their team is very client satisfaction oriented by being responsive (even with last-second requests), taking charge of their portion of the project, developing relationships, and getting quality products on time and on budget. I would highly recommend them on any future environmental work.

— Senior Project Manager at Neel-Schaffer, Inc.

Kasey and the entire Hollaway Environmental team did an outstanding job supporting Gauge Engineering and the City of League City with environmental work for 4 channel repair projects post Hurricane Harvey. We very much appreciate the collaborative approach for USACE permitting. In particular, Hollaway’s ability and willingness to assist us with the development of design workarounds to avoid permitting pitfalls and their relationships with the USACE Galveston District that resulted in a key “No Permit Required” letter for a particularly challenging project.

— Principal at Gauge Engineering

We love working alongside the Hollaway team! A great example was our work together on the Lower Clear Creek and Dickinson Bayou Watershed Study. The study picked up where a lot of prior work in the southern Harris County and northern Galveston County communities had left off over a period of decades. As such, public stakeholder engagement was always going to be challenging, but critically important.

The Hollaway team established a structured approach to engaging technical and community stakeholders so everyone was informed of the study’s objectives, had multiple opportunities to express their opinions, and was clearly informed of how their input was incorporated into our work.

— Principal at Freese and Nichols

I engaged Hollaway and Kasey Clarke at the beginning of a project to ensure there were no Army Corps of Engineers complications. I appreciate the thorough explanations, in simple terms, about the complex regulations of the Corps. Ms. Clarke keeps me updated and has never had an issue with the changing and expanding scope of our drainage project.

— Municipal Services Group Manager at the Odyssey EG

The public outreach information provided by Hollaway has been responsible for driving design decisions of numerous public infrastructure projects.

I have been working on public infrastructure projects for the last 30 years throughout the United States and Europe and have found projects run smoother and more efficient when Hollaway is responsible for communications.
