At Atkinson, environmental stewardship is a fundamental commitment. We work closely with clients, trade contractors, and industry organizations to raise awareness of new technologies, regulations, and industry trends - and provide technical assistance and training.
By The Numbers
Protecting Habitat and Wildlife
The Fish Passage Program in Washington State fosters healthy waterway ecosystems by removing or restoring barriers that keep fish and other aquatic species from moving freely to feed, migrate, and reproduce. This program is critical to preserve salmon and steelhead fish. Atkinson has or is currently working to remove over 25 fish barrier culverts from state highways.
Atkinson also constructed the first ever wildlife crossing over an interstate, which provides a natural route for animals such as elk and cougars to go over the busy highway safely.
Sustainability
Zero-emission vehicles are the future. Atkinson is helping pave the way by constructing infrastructure to support these vehicles, including solar-powered electric vehicle-charging spaces.
