Infrastructure
Tetra Tech’s engineering and architecture experts deliver sustainable designs that address infrastructure challenges in developing countries around the world.
Tetra Tech delivers safe and sustainable infrastructure using our Leading with Science® approach to help improve access to clean drinking water, sanitation, roads and bridges, health clinics, schools, government buildings, and reliable energy. We are a leading implementing partner for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). Leveraging our Tetra Tech Delta suite of proprietary technologies and analytical tools, we help governments and communities reemerge from instability and conflict and achieve their goals in health, education, economic growth, and food security.
We engage with stakeholders to provide capacity building and work closely with local governments and institutions to build their financial and managerial capacity for operations and maintenance to ensure long-term sustainability of donor-funded infrastructure projects.
Planning
Tetra Tech’s inclusive, data-based approach helps keep planning activities focused on developing infrastructure that has long-term viability after donor organization financing has concluded. We work to promote economic growth in all aspects of infrastructure project planning, including involving women engineers, community leaders, and government stakeholders.
