What Hodges Harbin Newberry & Tribble does

Hodges Harbin Newberry & Tribble (HHNT) is a privately-held environmental engineering and consulting firm founded in 1990 and headquartered in Macon, Georgia. The firm delivers five integrated core services (engineering design, environmental permitting, compliance consulting, construction management, and ecological services) to clients across five verticals: solid waste management, surface mining, industrial operators, government and municipal agencies, and the energy sector. Customer types explicitly named include municipal and county governments, state agencies, military bases, water/sewer authorities, industrial operators, and surface mining operators. The firm operates from six offices spanning Macon, Atlanta, Savannah, Statesboro, Greenville, and Little Rock, and is professionally licensed in 12 Southeast states (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia).

The firm's underlying technology stack centers on a custom-built web-based compliance tracking platform called ComplyStation, supplemented by a mobile app, which provides automated reminders for upcoming permit and compliance requirements and gives both HHNT staff and clients online visibility into compliance actions. The firm cites 2,000+ successful projects and work on 500+ solid waste landfills as evidence of scale, and claims that state regulators in its licensed states routinely use HHNT permit applications as illustrative examples of best practice.

HHNT generates revenue through professional services engagements priced on a custom quote-based, multi-year contract basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market model is direct B2B field sales in which senior consultants and partners serve as single points of contact for enterprise and government clients; the firm emphasizes long-term relationship-based selling, with active engagements for some clients spanning more than two decades. No acquisitions, funding rounds, public listing, or institutional investment are disclosed.
