McDowell & Associates is a Professional Engineering and Consulting company offering Geotechnical, Environmental, and Hydrogeological Services in addition to Construction Materials Testing and Inspection Services from offices in Ferndale and Midland, Michigan. Since being founded in 1978, our mission has been to provide our clients with practical solutions to real problems.
This approach requires clearly defining site characteristics and history, coupled with a thorough understanding of the client's objectives. The revenue that is expended on obtaining a clearer understanding of site conditions pertaining to environmental, hydrogeological and geotechnical characteristics, or for construction materials testing can be considered as an investment.
These expenditures will often be recovered during construction, or over the life of the project by reducing unexpected conditions. McDowell & Associates provides a full range of services in Michigan, northern Ohio, and the midwest with 50 employees located in Ferndale and Midland, Michigan.

Services
In 1978, Bob McDowell founded McDowell & Associates as a geotechnical firm with a focus on heavy construction.
McDowell has worked closely with industrial and commercial clients in Michigan, on various types of projects since our firm's founding.
We have provided a full range of Environmental and Construction services to industrial, commercial and residential clients since 1978.
Much of our early hydrodynamic and groundwater control engineered solutions were innovative approaches that have today become common practice for work with contaminated groundwater.

What makes our services different from other engineering and/or environmental consulting firms?
Our answer would be our professional engineers' experience as well as that of our staff.
On a daily basis, our engineers are looking at sites that may have environmental concerns, or geotechnical concerns, or construction material issues.
The cross-disciplinary setting at McDowell allows our engineers to see solutions to those concerns as well as foreseeing what additional issues could potentially impact a site.

Our engineers are expert at determining the suitability of land for cost effective development.
McDowell & Associates has extensive Geotechnical Engineering experience.
We maintain a computerized index of every subsurface investigation made since 1978.
The resulting database provides quick access to subsurface information throughout southeast Michigan and often allows for more cost effective solutions.
Our staff of highly experienced engineers routinely work on hundreds of geotechnical projects per year.

Leaking Underground Storage Tanks regulation revised.
Qualified Underground Storage Tank Consultants (QC) and Certified Underground Storage Tank Professional (CP) Program repealed.
The amendments require the use of the Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) processes developed by the American Society of Testing & Materials (ASTM) as the basis for addressing contaminated properties.
The legislative changes also modify time frames for reports required to be submitted by owners or operators responsible for leaking underground storage tank releases.
