Our verification notes

The relationship with the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans is documented through litigation rather than marketing, which is unusually specific evidence. Louisiana licenses engineering firms, and registration EF.0000124 was confirmed active by direct query to the state registry rather than quoted from a filing. No email is published anywhere on the firm's site and none was constructed.
