CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT & INSPECTION

Fish facilities can be surprisingly complex, and the regulatory agencies are watching. MacKay Sposito provides the expertise you need for a variety of projects: upstream and downstream passage, floating surface collectors, volitional passage, trap and haul, hatcheries, acclimation facilities, guide and exclusion nets, and intakes. We'll ensure your project runs smoothly, satisfies the regulators, and - most important - meets your goals.

OUR EXPERTISE

Hatcheries and acclimation facilities
