Waste Management, Willamette Valley OR

PCD’s team has been providing on-call surveying services to Waste Management since 2009.

PCD’s survey team responds to all survey requests quickly while maintaining a high degree of accuracy, attention to safety and detail.
PCD maintains most of the historical record data for the Hillsboro Landfill, and has earned the trust to work directly with other consultants as well as the contractors.
The strength of our performance has led to internal referrals that have resulted in additional survey and small civil design contracts with Waste Management at eight additional facilities throughout the Willamette Valley.
