ABOUT US
Early Adapt
Adapt, a certified veteran small business, was created by senior geotechnical and environmental program managers who left large engineering firms in the late 1990s. They were concerned about the low quality, unresponsive work product that large firms inevitably produced due to poor communications, learning curve issues of transient “green” workers and the use of “stringers” in “national offices”. Lack of local institutional knowledge and often the cursory senior review, due to large workload volumes, produced a sub-standard work product. Adapt’s seasoned professionals knew they could do better!
