The company noted new significant work starting to flow into the Environmental and Health practice, due to public concern about chemicals affecting ecosystems and human health. Management stated that a large project in the Human Factors practice had higher-than-expected revenues (7% of revenues), but may begin to roll off somewhat in 2018, estimating that this project could constitute 4-5% of revenues at the end of 2018.
