Enterprise Technical Services


Our survey crew provides site engineering and hydrographic surveys for roads, culverts and bridges and can also provide lower accuracy GPS mapping services.

We are experts in environmental compliance and can work with your biologists and hydrologists to complete NEPA documents, permits, and other regulatory requirements.

We can provide the technical design and contract preparation help to make your aquatic organism passage project a success. You know your resources and conservation goals; we can provide the technical expertise to support your interdisciplinary team from project design through contract administration.

Enterprise Technical Services provides Contracting Offier's Representatives (COR) and construction inspectors in al Forest Service National Construction Certifcation Program (NCCP) categories.

At Enterprise Technical Services we recognize the value of both the natural and built environment. We are experts at meeting the needs of people without comprising the integrity of surrounding ecosystems.

Our civil engineers and engineering technicians specialize in preparing designs and developing contracts for small-scale capital improvement and maintenance projects and completing annual operations inspections that require a specific skill set or certification. We are here to help you when you need to delegate.

Our surveyor team has experience working on projects from Hawaii, to Alaska, to Texas; they are experts at gathering data and have the Foret Service experience to work quickly and effectively.

“So far, I am more than happy that we are getting our money's worth from [ETS] Enterprise."
