Tellish earned his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Geneva College in 1996. He began his career providing project consultant and inspection services and brings more than eight years of project manager experience to HRG. Tellish offers skills in site investigation/evaluations, design, project proformas, permitting, construction management, and construction closeout procedures. He also brings a unique owner’s perspective on planning, permitting, design, and construction techniques. Tellish is credited as project manager on several large commercial and retail land development projects such as The Shoppes at Adams Ridge in Mars, Pennsylvania, and Warren Commons in Warren, Pennsylvania. He also has extensive experience with public sector projects such as the Phipps Conservatory in Oakland, Pennsylvania; Apollo Ridge Elementary School, Sto-Rox Middle School, and Cranberry Elementary School; and stadium projects for the Deer Lakes School District and Wilmington Area School District.
Previously, the bridge had served as a popular but dangerous stocking point and high angler destination. As a result, several local residents had experienced close encounters with speeding vehicles. Through the partnership created for the Elk Park Road project, the township secured eight additional acres adjacent to the creek and bridge -- land that was then converted into a parking lot for stocking helpers and anglers to park safely. “We were pleased to discover that our project with Girard Township had received such high recognition by PSATS,” said Dave Sterrett, HRG’s Client Manager. “The project required much effort on the part of our project team to coordinate the efforts of all agencies and facilitate dialogue regarding the best response to the challenges that emerged. But, the extra effort was well worth it. Everyone involved is very pleased with the results, and we continue to hear very positive feedback from the community.”
Orndorff is a licensed professional land surveyor in Maryland and Pennsylvania. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in geography from The Pennsylvania State University and a master’s degree in surveying and mapping from the University of Florida. He joined HRG’s Lancaster office in 2000 as a survey technician and was promoted in 2003 to manage GPS survey services in the firm’s Harrisburg office. He was elected an associate of the firm in 2005 and was promoted again in 2007 to be the regional manager of all survey services throughout Central Pennsylvania. “Thanks to his extensive knowledge of innovative technology and his commitment to client service, Eric has extended the reach of HRG’s survey group to new markets and brought us many rewarding and high profile projects on the state and federal level.” HRG Vice President Brian Emberg says. “His thorough knowledge of surveying practices and his commitment to the highest levels of accuracy ensure quality performance for all of our clients.”
“HRG has worked very hard to sustain consistent growth in order to provide optimal service to our clients and to provide our employees with exciting and steadily increasing career opportunities,” said HRG President Robert Grubic, P.E. “We are honored to be recognized for this commitment by such an important publication in our industry.”
Sartori holds a bachelor's degree in civil and environmental engineering with a Certificate in Transportation from the University of Pittsburgh School of Engineering and is a registered professional engineer. Kelley brings over eight years of industry knowledge and engineering experience in highway and roadway design, project management, and construction administration services to the firm. Ms. Sartori also offers skills in preparation and review of construction plans, traffic control plans, signing and pavement marking plans, erosion and sedimentation control plans, and cost estimates.
“Alliance Environmental Services has fostered a strong reputation for sustaining a mission very similar to our own – developing close partnerships with each client and delivering high-quality, technical consulting services that produce practical, cost-effective solutions for environmental compliance,” said Robert C. Grubic, P.E., president, HRG. “It is this unwavering commitment to the clients, coupled with a keen focus on environmental compliance and services that makes Alliance a perfect match for HRG and our strategic growth goals and vision.” “This is a perfect example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts,” said Paul Nachlas, P.G., president, Alliance. “By joining with HRG, our potential together for outstanding projects is much greater than for either of us alone. HRG’s and Alliance’s services and clients partner well together, and now, all of these complementary services will be accessible through one place. HRG is known for their excellent projects and satisfied clients, and Alliance is very happy to be a part of that.” In addition to HRG’s full range of engineering services, this most recent addition enables the firm to offer expanded services in environmental site assessments, underground storage tank management, remedial investigations, land recycling/Act 2 programs, soil and ground water remediation, regulatory compliance management, asbestos inspections and management, and litigation support services. “As for our clients, they can feel confident that the addition of Alliance employees and expertise will both expand the depth of service HRG provides and further enhance their experience with us,” Grubic said. “Moving forward, we look to continue to achieve even greater successes for our clients.” “Joining HRG allows us to have a wider array of services at our fingertips for our clients,” said Nachlas. “We have always focused on providing the best client service possible through partnerships that help to generate solutions for our clients’ businesses. Herbert, Rowland & Grubic provides the kind of services that we wanted to be able to offer our clients, making this beneficial for both companies.” All Alliance employees are being retained as part of HRG’s expanded Environmental Service Group and Paul Nachlas has been named manager of the group. The expanded group will blend the expertise of the Alliance staff with HRG’s existing staff.
