In 1995 Dr. Malcolm Reeves joined the firm to provide advanced expertise in engineering geology, hydrogeology and computer modelling. Two years later, in 1997, an expanded laboratory facility was opened and in 1999 M.D. Haug and Associates introduced a mobile field lab and office facility to meet the demands of large-scale field projects.
