(NexTerra) effective September 29, 2023. N&W will continue to offer geotechnical engineering and certified soil laboratory testing services to its clients.
NexTerra, a DBE drilling company under the ownership of Paul W. Navarro, President, will continue the legacy of N&W’s drilling division, providing the services of a drilling staff with over 30 years of combined knowledge and experience. NexTerra is registered as a DBE firm in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is pursuing DBE registration in other states.
Paul J. Navarro, PE, President & CEO of N&W said “I am confident that this transaction will make N&W a stronger company. The transaction will allow N&W to focus on its core engineering and surveying services, allow us to grow those services and continue our commitment to provide quality professional service to our clients.” He added, “the decision to divest N&W’s drilling operations was not taken lightly. First and foremost was our desire to protect the jobs and livelihood of the drilling staff. We are pleased that most of the existing drilling staff accepted similar positions at NexTerra. With Paul W. Navarro’s strong background in business, NexTerra is well positioned to continue to provide responsive drilling services to N&W’s valued clients. Paul W. has worked diligently to improve his understanding and knowledge of the drilling operations, to get to know the drilling staff by working alongside them in the field and working to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the drilling operations to lay the groundwork for success of NextTerra. “I strongly feel that NexTerra will provide its clients with the same level of service that those clients received from N&W.”
