A Japan-based client formed a Joint Venture (JV) partnership in order to expand use of their technology to U.S. The initial budget (created by the JV management team) included plans for costly permitting process and emissions controls. Cornerstone worked diligently with the JV team in evaluation and subsequent modifications to process. Our team also worked with emissions control equipment vendors to design a less costly system, which still provided for future growth.
