Strategic Alliance AES was acquired by Resource Environmental Solutions in 2021, creating a larger platform for joint bids on ecological restoration and watershed projects. The collaboration includes demonstrated EPA-focused work with ERG, which strengthens credibility for federal and state contract pursuits. A clear sales play is to leverage the RES network to win joint opportunities in water quality, habitat restoration, and land-use decision support.

Watershed Focus AES specializes in regional watershed-based approaches and small-community water quality projects, with past partnerships like Des Moines Water Works highlighted. This creates opportunities to target utilities, municipal planning departments, and conservation districts for watershed planning, stormwater retrofits, and river restoration programs using AES’s ecological methods and GIS tools.

Geo-Technology Proficiency in SketchUp, AutoCAD, ArcGIS and other tools enables production of compelling design, basemaps, 3D visualizations and GIS analyses for proposals and stakeholder engagement. Opportunities include supporting grant applications, feasibility studies, and long-term restoration programs with data-driven deliverables.

Public Sector Access The firm has a government-facing project history and experience navigating regulatory requirements, underscored by its EPA-related collaboration. This positions AES and RES for federal and state contracts, utility-led solicitations and park/land management projects where compliance and measurable outcomes matter.

Integrated Growth Leverage RES’s client network and AES’s ecological science to cross-sell a broader suite of restoration, habitat and watershed services across national markets. Actions include joint marketing materials, co-branded proposals, webinars, and targeted outreach to municipalities, utilities, parks, and environmental agencies.
