What ESG Engineering does

ESG Engineering is a private, Georgia-based consulting and engineering services firm specializing in water and wastewater treatment infrastructure for municipal clients. The company offers six integrated service lines: Permitting Support, Construction Management, Treatment Facility Design, Program Management, Pipeline & Pump Station Design, and Staff Augmentation. These are delivered as project-based professional services rather than as a software or technology platform; the underlying "technology" is engineering expertise, regulatory knowledge, and project management capability applied to treatment facility design, pipeline and pump station engineering, and construction oversight. The firm operates two offices in Georgia — a Suwanee (Atlanta) office at 5400 Laurel Springs Parkway, Suite 902, and a Macon office at 6400 Peake Rd — and serves clients concentrated in the Southeastern United States.

The business model is sales-led and project-based. ESG Engineering pursues municipal contracts through direct engagement and via the QuestCDN public project bidding portal ("Out For Bid"), with revenue generated from professional services fees tied to project scope. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm is led by two SVP/Partners who are licensed Professional Engineers (Chris Carr, PE and Trey Gavin, PE), and customer segmentation is a single vertical: municipal water and wastewater utilities. No enterprise software, SaaS, or recurring revenue components are present.

In August 2024, ESG Engineering was acquired by Inframark, a larger U.S. provider of water and wastewater infrastructure solutions. ESG now operates as part of Inframark's OneTeam under CLEAR Partnership values (Collaboration, Leadership, Excellence, Accountability, Respect), with stated access to Inframark's expanded resources, technologies, and capabilities. The company continues to operate under the ESG Engineering brand within its Southeastern footprint.
