Full service consulting for waterways, ports, coasts and rivers
About Us
Coldwater Consulting was incorporated in 2007 as an independent consulting firm. Prior to establishing Coldwater, the firm’s principals were partners in Pacific International Engineering: a consultancy headquartered in the Pacific northwest. The development of the separate, northeast-based, Coldwater provides a complement to the northwest-based Pacific International. While now independent, both firms continue to collaborate on projects allowing clients of both firms access to a broad range of technical skills and project experience.
