CommonWealth is both a provider of fee-based professional
consulting services, and an at-risk developer of specialized environmental
projects. The firms at-risk development activity is undertaken on
its own, and through project-specific or longer-term strategic partnerships.
Fee-based Consulting Services
CommonWealths consulting services are
both technical and advisory. As technical consultants, our focus is on
helping clients manage the transition from analysis and planning to successful
implementation of projects and programs. As advisors, we bring a strategic
perspective to the critical decisions our clients face as they respond
to an expanding array of resource utilization, waste management, and related
environmental protection challenges and opportunities. In all cases, our
specialized knowledge of industry-specific markets, technologies, and
regulatory requirements provides the framework for rigorous application
of time-proven methods of engineering, economic, and managerial analysis
in support of client initiatives and decision-making.
While our consulting services are always tailored to
efficiently address the specific requirements of individual clients, those
services may be conveniently described as falling within the following
broad categories of professional assistance:
Development Services
Procurement Services
Strategic Planning and Analysis
Litigation Support
At-Risk Project Development
CommonWealths own development activities are
an outgrowth of, and an adjunct to, work undertaken on a fee-for-service
basis on behalf of clients who are the owner/operators of environmental
projects, facilities and enterprises (see Development
Services). As developers, we typically originate projects and bring
them to financing. We may also assume or share certain of the other risks
associated with the projects during the construction and operating phases
of the project life cycle. In recent years, the firm has acted as developer
or co-developer of multiple projects involving the recovery and use of
landfill methane to fuel industrial boilers, produce power and treat leachate
(a wastewater generated at municipal solid waste landfills). Projects
currently being assessed or in early stage development involve the use
of micro-turbine, hydropower, and wave energy technologies for small-scale
distributed generation/ co-generation facilities.
