Environmental Services

​

Accent provides high quality environmental services to our energy sector clients. We specialize in the planning and inspection of interstate pipeline projects that are regulated by multiple state and federal agencies. Accent is known for working side by side with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and leading multiple third-party compliance monitoring programs on FERC regulated projects. We also have significant experience managing environmental conditions for smaller projects such as intrastate pipelines, pipe inspection and replacement projects, upstream oil and gas, and renewable energy.

 

Specific services include project management, environmental planning and permitting, environmental inspection, utility and craft inspection and environmental and safety training. We maintain strong standards by having a company officer involved in the management and quality control of each Accent project.

 

Accent strives to maintain our “A” rating from ISNETWORLD for the excellent quality control systems. We are able to meet all specific client needs through multiple accredited associations (See certification and association section). Accent’s use of these interfacing systems allows us to keep up to date with the application of these systems to the energy industry.
