Our Unique Approach to Your Project

Finding the perfect site hinges on understanding the key project success variables and applying the right expertise to locate the site offering the lowest cost of ownership with the highest probability of success. While there are no perfect sites, there are optimal sites: those that yield the lowest overall total cost of ownership over a project’s projected lifespan. There is a myriad of sub-optimal sites that can cost a facility millions of dollars in higher initial capital and ongoing operations and maintenance costs. Our site selection approach starts and ends with you. We partner with you to define your project needs and arm you with site information enabling you to confidently choose the best location possible.

 

CSRS’ unique engineering and technical-based approach starts with developing a thorough understanding of the client’s needs, then combining the project’s requirements with our technical, engineering, siting, and incentive expertise to identify the best site for a facility. CSRS will pair your unique project needs with compatible sites, a complementary skilled workforce, and an incentive package leveraging your investment, all yielding the lowest long-term operational costs and maximizes your ability to succeed.
