GZA Acquires Emery & Garrett Groundwater Investigations

Published Wednesday Mar 7, 2018

GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (GZA), with NH headquarters in Bedford, acquired Emery & Garrett Groundwater Investigations, LLC. (EGGI), a Meredith-based firm focused on groundwater exploration, development, management, and protection. GZA is geotechnical, environmental, ecological, water, and construction management services firm.

Serving the State of New Hampshire and the eastern United States for the past 28 years, EGGI has been recognized regionally and nationally, including by the EPA, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the National Association of Groundwater Scientists and Engineers, for providing technical leadership in the field of groundwater exploration, development, and protection. EGGI will operate as a division of GZA and will maintain its current leadership as well as its office in Meredith.

The EGGI team will continue to provide consulting services to municipal utilities, public water authorities, hospitals, universities, Fortune 500 companies, developers, counties, and state and federal agencies, with additional services now available to these clients as a result of GZA’s comprehensive practice areas.

“The EGGI team is one of the most respected and sought-after groundwater experts in the Eastern United States, and this acquisition enables GZA to expand our water services and client base,” said Bill Hadge, CEO of GZA. “As demand for sustainable groundwater resources continues to increase, the ability to identify and develop previously undiscovered groundwater supplies will become ever more important.”

Hadge added, “One of the most significant indicators of the quality of professional service that EGGI delivers is that every client the firm has provided professional services for since its 1989 founding has continued to use EGGI for additional and follow-up groundwater investigation initiatives.’’

James M. Emery, president and CEO of EGGI, says joining GZA will empower EGGI to scale their reach and impact, while continuing to deliver to all their clients the level of service and the innovative solutions they’ve come to expect from EGGI.

EGGI was most recently a wholly owned subsidiary of NextWater, LLC.
