About Us

In 1985, Bob Whitley and Max Burchett created Whitley Burchett & Associates (WBA) to provide high quality professional engineering services while maintaining the highest ethical standards. At its inception, WBA was envisioned as a small consulting engineering firm that would be an alternative to the large consulting firms that occupied the field. Their vision to furnish high integrity, exceptional quality, client-focused services holds true to this day. This vision has resulted in numerous satisfied clients and has provided professional and personal growth opportunities for WBA employees.

WBA is a company of highly educated engineers who share the values of working in a collegial atmosphere, doing the highest quality work possible, and continually challenging themselves and each other. WBA is a firm that promotes professional growth for each of its employees by providing a variety of work experience and the opportunity to work directly with its clients.

WBA has earned a reputation for developing solutions for its clients that are technically sound and innovative as well as practical and cost-effective. WBA enjoys mutual respect with regulatory agency staff that work with our clients to further the requirements of environmental protection. WBA is active in professional organizations throughout California and has consistently offered support and a ‘giving back’ attitude to the environmental engineering community.

After 20 years, WBA maintains its founding ideology for excellence in all our endeavors.
