What Trigon Associates does

Trigon Associates, LLC is a privately held, woman-owned multi-disciplinary engineering firm headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, with a regional office in Houston, Texas. Founded in 2009, the firm provides engineering design, environmental remediation, project and program management, construction management, disaster recovery, and international development services. Core service lines span planning, engineering design, environmental assessments and remediation, emergency management, and construction inspection/administration, delivered across verticals including municipal infrastructure, water and wastewater systems, transportation, federal contracting, environmental and coastal services, and international development.

The firm's underlying technology is conventional engineering tooling — hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, GIS mapping, PCSWMM modeling, survey and geotechnical investigation — rather than proprietary software or AI-driven platforms. Notable technical credentials include Professional Engineers (PE), Project Management Professionals (PMP), Program Management Professionals (PgMP), and Certified Floodplain Managers (CFM) on staff. Trigon is licensed throughout the Gulf South and Southeastern US and holds active IDIQ and MATOC contract vehicles with USDA/NRCS and the US Department of the Interior/Forest Service.

Trigon's business model is professional services fee-for-contract work, primarily billed through government procurement vehicles including competitive RFPs/RFIs, IDIQ/MATOC task orders, and direct negotiations. Revenue streams derive from engineering and design services, construction management, federal contracting (NPS, USDA NRCS, US Army Corps of Engineers), and international development programs (USAID, Global Affairs Canada). Pricing is project-specific based on scope, with fees structured as percentage-of-construction-cost, fixed-fee, or hourly consulting arrangements. Marquee engagements include the $750M Bien Hoa dioxin remediation in Vietnam, the $1.2B West Bank/Gaza Infrastructure Needs Program Phase II, and the $330M Jordan Schools program, alongside recurring municipal work for the Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans, parish governments, and educational institutions across the Gulf South.
