International Women's Day 2021

3/8/2021

 
A quick update from our wonderful team on this International Women's Day.

After challenging times that delayed the experience due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ms. Stephanie Hall received a passing grade on her Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam. She is in the process of formally registering as an Engineer in Training (EIT) at Puerto Rico's State Department and registering as a certified member of the Puerto Rico College of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors (CIAPR, in Spanish). Additionally, she is currently strengthening her knowledge in Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) by taking an advanced course on the matter. We are very proud of her

g. Carmen Figueroa shared her experiences of becoming and growth in her career (left). We are more than proud of her for this and all other recognitions she has received in the past months.

Ms. Aurimar Rodríguez has broadened her knowledge towards achieving her Navigation License from the Marine Education Division of PR's Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER). 

Each member of our renowned team provides support in a very special way. We will continue to promote professional and personal growth to every member of our team and beyond.

[A quick shoutout to Ms. Natalie Giró and Ms. Thaís Encarnación who also recently passed the FE Exam and Water Treatment License Exam correspondingly. They have both had the opportunity to be part of our team formally or informally in past years.]

From and administrative perspective, we will continue to work towards recognition as a Women Owned Business (WOB).

We encourage all to support and motivate teammates and promote purpose throughout your career.

Update to Services for Operational Permits - Single Permit ("Permiso Único-PU")

3/5/2021

 
Recently approved changes to Puerto Rico's Joint Permits Regulation extend the acknowledgement of the need to integrate government approvals such as operational permits. Our team has had the opportunity to keep up-to-date with requirements for a diversity of operations such as low and high traffic volume offices, telecommunications facilities, commercial facilities, and industrial facilities such as the first urban micro-distillery in Puerto Rico!

As required by such Regulation, "new or existing building, with non-residential uses, will obtain the Single Permit ("Permiso Único-PU") to start or continue its operations". Such permit would be granted for:
  1. Uses;
  2. Certification of Categorical Exclusion or applicable environmental document (regarding the Use);
  3. Certification for Fire Prevention;
  4. Health Licenses; and,
  5. Any other type of license or applicable authorization required for the operation of the activity or use of the business as provided in this Regulation.

Each activity or operation requires a diversity of approvals, which our team would most gladly assist you in identifying. Alternative optional licenses or certifications now included within this Single Permit (PU) are:
  • Alcoholic beverages retail traffickers or dealers ("Traficantes de bebidas alcohólicas");
  • Gasoline Wholesale or Retail License ("Licencia de al por mayor o detallista de gasolina");
  • Motor Vehicle and Trailer Dealer License ("Licencia de Concesionario de Vehículos de Motor y Arrastres")
  • Among others.

As consultants, we are able to assist you in identifying regulatory requirements for your facility for a compliant beginning or continuation of operations.
