"RWDI's focus is on using its resources to identify problems
and to develop innovative and practical solutions in concert
with its clients and other team members" (Bill Rowan, President)
Today's RWDI is much more than a testing laboratory. The firm
has developed into a unique source of consulting expertise
offering an array of specialized tools and , most important, a
team of people with unparalleled experience - all dedicated
exclusively to studying and resolving problem associated with
air pollutants, wind, snow, noise, the sun and industrial
process flows.
Our input is sought by clients at all stages of the planning and
design process, but we strongly emphasize the cost-effectiveness
of employing our consulting resources as early as possible in
the project. By having us review potential impacts early,
decisions can be made which will help to avoid subsequent design
problems leading to unnecessary costs and time delays.
We're a much different firm now than when we opened our doors
in 1972, and RWDI's clients are reaping the benefits.
We are enthusiastic about what we do and would be pleased to
discuss how we can help you.
RWDI's Resources
RWDI's greatest resource is its people. Our versatile staff
includes mechanical, civil, process, structural, environmental
and aeronautical engineers, plus meteorologists, environmental,
chemical, and microclimate specialists, model builders, and
technical and administrative support staff.
RWDI's unique laboratory offers clients a range of special
facilities including wind tunnels, a water flume, computer
modelling and extensive instrumentation for monitoring and
measuring air quality, noise, vibration and fluid flows.
RWDI's project management system provides quality control and
ensures responsiveness to clients' needs.
