V&A is really responsive to the client’s needs. They’re prompt. They listen and proceed to do the work requested.

There have been several instances where we needed their assistance in a very short time frame. They’ve always responded quickly and the quality of their consulting services has been excellent.

V&A gives us excellent value. They always consult with us on the project’s scope. If they see something unexpected, they bring it to our attention immediately, consult with us and then proceed based upon the direction we give them.

They really understand our organization because they’ve asked the appropriate questions about our needs and have learned about how we operate internally.

Home : About

Since 1979, V&A has built a reputation for helping clients resolve their most complex corrosion, coatings, and sewer system maintenance, rehabilitation and preservation challenges with innovative, pragmatic solutions and a deep commitment to expert, professional service.

Many V&A engineers have dual-discipline professional engineer licenses including Corrosion/Civil Engineering and Mechanical/Civil Engineering. Because we understand civil design requirements, we can provide clients with appropriate options for materials selection, coatings and corrosion control, considering estimated service life. Our knowledge of design factors and their cost implications helps us make better recommendations that withstand the test of time.

In addition, we believe in capturing and sharing relevant practical information among all staff to ensure a high level of quality across all projects, and facilitate knowledge transfer among all team members. V&A has a vast database that contains extensive and searchable information from past projects, technical research, books, standards, technical papers and other knowledge developed as part of our project work in corrosion, coatings and condition assessment services.
