What Broadbent & Associates, Inc. does

Broadbent & Associates, Inc. is a private, full-service environmental consulting firm founded in 1987 by Bob Broadbent in Boulder City, Nevada. The firm provides environmental assessment and remediation, air quality permitting and stack testing, water and wastewater operations, water resources, civil engineering, cultural resource management, emergency response, industrial hygiene/health and safety, and specialty services including abandoned mine lands (AML), drone/SUAS, and Petroleum Contaminated Soil (PCS) management. It serves clients across six primary verticals: mining, energy, federal/state/local government, industrial and manufacturing, real estate and land development, and other consultants/contractors.

The business runs on a project-based professional services model (professional consulting fees, quote-based pricing) delivered through 24 office locations across nine western US states (Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, California, Texas, Utah, Oregon, New Mexico, Michigan) by ~100 employees including Professional Engineers, Professional Geologists, Certified Industrial Hygienists, Registered Professional Archaeologists, and FAA-licensed drone pilots. Technology is centered on scientific methodologies, deep regulatory expertise, and integrated in-house archaeology plus AML remediation. The firm has held a 10+ year teaming partnership with Weston Solutions on the EPA Region 9 START program and is a preferred contractor for the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection.

Customer acquisition is overwhelmingly sales-led and referral-driven; the firm's website, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook channels support brand presence, but most revenue comes from repeat clients and return engagements (e.g., StoryBook Homes/Toll Brothers 18+ years; Weston Solutions since 2014). Ownership is independent and private, with a stated emphasis on employee-ownership culture and internal leadership succession (Randy Miller became the fourth President in 2023). The company has chosen to remain independent rather than selling to a strategic or financial acquirer.
