WLA Consulting, Inc ( WLA ) was founded in 2005 by Tom Senne, P.E., Brian Mulinix, P.E. and Fred Scarpello, P.E. The founders, who are all chemical engineers, created the company to focus on applying process engineering principles to environmental challenges. This unique approach positions the company to solve difficult problems. Since many of our projects include a process engineering component, WLA is now applying these skills beyond environmental projects.
