About the Company

Heindel & Noyes was incorporated in the 1970s to provide quality environmental consulting services to the Vermont market. Over the past 3 decades, H&N has grown in to a full service environmental consulting firm working with clients throughout New England.

In 1987, we founded ENDYNE, an EPA-certified laboratory which provides environmental testing services throughout New England and New York.

In 1990, we developed air pollution testing services. This new interest lead to the development of New England Air Quality Testing (NEAQT), a full service consulting group comprised of engineers and chemists.  NEAQT operates throughout New England and New York.

Informational and Visualization Services (IVS) was founded in 1995, and provides Geographic Information System (GIS) and Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) and design services, high-end graphics, and computer programming services. IVS offers state-of-the-art GIS mapping and processing tools to assist in map production and land-use analysis. Also included in the IVS list of services is image processing, animations and renderings, presentation graphics, large-format scanning, tax mapping, and client-specific GIS application development. IVS plays a key role in Heindel & Noyes operations by providing superior graphics and scientific support services.

IVS also assists a number of New England banks in developing flood certifications for real estate transactions.  Assessment and reporting is offered by internet application or with the assistance of a staff scientist.

Specialty Drilling and Investigation (SDI) was formed in 1998, and provides full-service environmental drilling and borings utilizing hollow-stem auger and direct-push methods.  The drilling group is expert in sampling techniques for foundation investigations, water supply and contaminant investigations.

Our most recent enterprise was the development of Ridge Consulting Engineers (RCE) in 2000. RCE provides professional engineering and design, and specializes in projects requiring water supply and wastewater solutions, site engineering and design, stormwater management, topographic surveys and Act 250 permitting.

We also have 600 maps of historic significance from the University of Vermont archives, available in digital geo-referenced format, FEMA maps for the entire state of Vermont, and all of the standard GIS datasets for a wide variety of environmental parameters available state-wide.
