2025 Recap: Helping Clients Reach Environmental Compliance, Near and Far
December 15, 2025
As 2025 comes to a close, our team is proud to reflect on our various projects and accomplishments. McFadden Engineering experienced a year of growth, expansion and continued commitment to sustainable environmental engineering solutions to even the most challenging water and wastewater problems.
Compliance Work with ArcelorMittal Calvert
What began as a short-term compliance support project with AM Calvert, an industry-leading steel fabricator near Mobile, Ala., has evolved into ongoing work on a variety of engineering needs. McFadden supports AM Calvert through compliance monitoring, storm water monitoring, spill plan inspection services and implementation of best management practices (BMP).
In addition to compliance-related work, the McFadden team also upgraded AM Calvert’s sample collection systems by assisting the environmental team with designs to integrate auto-sampling equipment at numerous locations within the facility. McFadden has previously worked with AM Calvert on compliance for its steel mill, so the team welcomed the opportunity for an ongoing partnership.
Georgia Natural Gas Pipeline Project
The installation and expansion of natural gas pipelines are a growing need across the country, including the Southeast. These projects are subject to strict environmental regulations, which made McFadden Engineering a perfect fit for ongoing environmental work for a large natural gas pipeline project in Northwest Georgia.
McFadden’s team of engineers worked on a 16-inch transmission pipeline construction project where they completed the environmental permitting and assisted with BMPs during Phase 1 of the construction. As Phases 2 and 3 prepare to begin, McFadden will continue its compliance work on the project.
Pipeline Hazardous Material (PHMSA) Department of Transportation Grants
McFadden had additional opportunities to work in the natural gas sector this year thanks to Pipeline Hazardous Material (PHMSA) grants issued through the Department of Transportation (DOT). The grants support natural gas line upgrades for communities across the country, and the McFadden team spent time on the road to assist with the environmental work associated with the projects.
This year, the team has completed environmental work for associated projects in North Carolina, Ohio and Kansas. The work included evaluation of pipeline routes for environmental considerations such potential impacts on water bodies and wetlands, as well as the identification of environmentally sensitive areas within the project footprint.
Expanding Our Footprint
These projects and many others have culminated in a broader reach and an expanded footprint for McFadden Engineering during the past year. Our team continues to gain more work locally while also supporting projects across the country, from the Midwest to the East Coast and back down South.
We appreciate our clients near and far and look forward to continued growth in the coming year. If you need environmental compliance support in the new year, our team is here to help—browse our services and contact us today.
