Our story

Built to solve hard infrastructure problems — repeatedly.

HGA was founded with a clear thesis: complex infrastructure programs need partners who can operate across engineering, field services, technology, and program management simultaneously. That integrated approach has scaled from a single Gulf Coast engagement to a national practice spanning energy, government, broadband, and manufacturing.

Our client roster includes Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 500 corporations, federal and state government agencies, and major utilities. We've managed billions in grant-funded programs and delivered engineering services across every phase of the project lifecycle.

Our approach

Technology-enabled, field-tested.

HGA doesn't outsource critical capabilities. Our engineering, geospatial, automation, field services, and software development teams work under one roof. When a broadband program needs GIS-driven environmental screening or a chemical plant needs a controls retrofit, the same company scopes, designs, builds, and commissions the solution.

This integration is what makes PermitSolutions possible. It wasn't built by a software vendor guessing at federal workflows — it was built by the team already inside the programs, solving the same bottlenecks their clients face every day.

Federal Programs

Where PermitSolutions deploys.

PermitSolutions was built inside federally funded infrastructure programs. These are the sectors and program types where the platform streamlines environmental review, agency coordination, and permit tracking.

Broadband & BEAD

End-to-end environmental and historical preservation (EHP) compliance for state broadband offices and ISP subgrantees deploying fiber under BEAD, GUMBO, and Capital Projects Fund programs.

NEPA NHPA §106 ESA §7 BEAD

Disaster Recovery & Resiliency

Environmental review and permitting for federally funded disaster recovery programs — housing elevations, infrastructure repair, hazard mitigation, and community resiliency projects.

FEMA HMA CDBG-DR ARPA NEPA

Transportation & Highways

NEPA documentation, categorical exclusions, and multi-agency coordination for FHWA-funded road, bridge, and transit projects requiring Section 4(f) and Section 106 compliance.

FHWA CatEx §4(f) §106

Renewable Energy & Public Lands

Permitting and environmental review for solar, wind, and transmission projects on federal lands — right-of-way grants, biological assessments, and inter-agency consultations.

BLM ROW USFS BA / BO ESA §7

Water Resources & Wetlands

Section 404/Section 10 permit coordination with USACE, wetland delineations, mitigation tracking, and Clean Water Act compliance for projects impacting waters of the United States.

USACE §404 CWA NWP Mitigation

Grant Administration & Compliance

Cross-cutting environmental review and federal compliance management for state-administered grant programs — subrecipient monitoring, audit-ready documentation, and agency reporting.

2 CFR 200 NEPA BABA Davis-Bacon
Industries

Deep domain expertise across critical sectors.

HGA serves industries where engineering precision, regulatory compliance, and operational reliability aren't optional — they're the baseline.

Energy Transition

Oil & Gas

Upstream, midstream, downstream, pipeline services, and specialty chemical solutions across the full hydrocarbon value chain.

Manufacturing

Pulp & paper, sawmill plants, semiconductors, data centers, and wood products — brownfield and greenfield.

Power & Utilities

Transmission & distribution, power generation, and utility infrastructure for the era of energy transformation.

Chemicals

25+ years serving the chemicals industry with comprehensive engineering, process design, and technical expertise.

Infrastructure

Civil infrastructure, alternative fuels (CNG), LNG, and large-scale construction management across the U.S.

PermitSolutions by HGA

The permitting platform born from real deployments.

PermitSolutions is HGA's operational environmental review and permitting technology. It wasn't conceived in a lab — it was built inside active federal programs where HGA was already managing NEPA reviews, coordinating agencies, and tracking permits at scale.

The platform automates GIS-driven environmental screening, routes reviews to the right agencies, manages applicant and reviewer workflows, and produces audit-ready administrative records — all aligned to CEQ's Permitting Data Standard.
