Echem Consultants

What Echem Consultants does

Echem Consultants LLC is a privately held, woman-owned engineering consultancy headquartered in Kingston, New York, founded in 2009 by Gina Crevello. The firm serves architects, engineers, and structure owners who manage critical infrastructure and historic landmarks, providing specialized material science and durability consulting spanning bridges, tunnels, rail systems, cooling towers, energy substations, marine ports, and one-of-a-kind landmarks.

The company's service portfolio is built around its trademarked Life 52™ methodology, an integrated framework combining Laboratory, Inspection, Field Services, and Engineered Design. Technical capabilities include non-destructive testing (Half-Cell Potential, Ground Penetrating Radar, acoustic/ultrasonic/thermal methods, and Digital Image Correlation), service life and remaining-life analysis of reinforced concrete, structural health monitoring, forensic chemical and materials testing, and maintenance/rehabilitation including cathodic protection system design. Proprietary tools include Life 52™, a multi-physic modeling software program for reinforced concrete durability developed by Chief Technical Director Paul Noyce.

The business operates on a professional services, project-based consulting model with custom engagements priced by scope, sold directly to enterprise and public-sector clients through a consultative, relationship-driven sales approach. Go-to-market is anchored in principal-led thought leadership via lectures, publications, conference leadership (including NACE Concrete Service Life Conference co-chair and APTi presidency), and targeted content marketing. The firm is bootstrapped, holds WBE and DBE certifications, and reports no external funding or institutional ownership.

Direct peers

• Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates (WJE): WJE is an employee-owned engineering consultancy specializing in structural investigation, failure analysis, and repair design for buildings and infrastructure. It is a direct peer to Echem, offering forensic and durability engineering on concrete, steel, and historic structures with a similar expert-driven, project-based model.
• CTLGroup: CTLGroup (formerly Construction Technology Laboratories) provides materials and structural engineering consulting, including concrete durability, corrosion, and service-life assessment. Directly comparable to Echem in corrosion diagnostics and concrete durability advisory for infrastructure and built-environment clients.
• Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH): SGH is an engineering consultancy focused on structural analysis, building envelopes, and infrastructure durability. Comparable to Echem in delivering forensic investigations, service-life assessments, and repair recommendations on complex structures.
• Vector Corrosion Technologies: Vector specializes in cathodic protection and corrosion mitigation design for reinforced concrete and steel structures. Closely comparable to Echem in ICCP design, cathodic protection systems, and corrosion-related repair engineering on bridges, parking garages, and marine structures.
• Structural Group: Structural Group delivers specialty contracting and engineering services for concrete repair, strengthening, and protection. Overlaps with Echem in structural health monitoring and corrosion-related maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation on critical infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• T.Y. Lin International: T.Y. Lin is a global infrastructure engineering firm with capabilities spanning bridge design, tunnels, and rail. Comparable to Echem at the broad infrastructure level, though it is a much larger generalist that does not specialize in corrosion/materials durability the way Echem does.
• AECOM: AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting firm with large practices in transportation, environment, and water. It competes with Echem indirectly on large-scale bridge and infrastructure programs where materials/durability services are bundled within broader engineering mandates.
• Sika Corporation: Sika is a global specialty chemicals company serving construction and infrastructure with concrete repair, protection, and sealing systems. Adjacent to Echem as a supplier of repair materials and a broader incumbent in concrete durability solutions.
• Walter P Moore: Walter P Moore is an engineering consultancy focused on structural, civil, and infrastructure engineering, including diagnostics and restoration of existing structures. A broader incumbent peer whose diagnostics and restoration work overlaps with Echem's forensic/durability practice.

Others

• Institute of Corrosion (Icorr) — industry body: Icorr is a professional body for corrosion engineering, not a commercial peer. Included because Echem holds Icorr membership and Icorr's training/certification ecosystem shapes the talent pipeline Echem draws on for its corrosion engineering practice.
