Meet Envista’s Newest Additions!
Luke Griffin, PE, GC
Principal Engineer, Civil/Structural (Memphis, TN)
Luke is a Principal Engineer with nearly 10 years of experience with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. He is a licensed general contractor and registered professional engineer in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas. Luke performs inspections and origin and cause analyses of storm damage, construction defects, structural design defects, building code compliance, industry standard compliance, and structural salvageability. Luke investigations typically involve commercial, residential, religious, civic, and multi-residential building types with floor, wall, and roof system failures, building settlement and/or collapse, moisture intrusions, wood rot and deterioration, termite damage, or building envelope and cladding system deficiencies and failures. His specialized experience with residential and commercial construction involves identifying foundation- and moisture-related issues for clients and providing engineering solutions to solve complex problems. As a licensed general contractor, Luke also engages in the planning, construction, remodelling, and repair of residential structures.
Fun Fact: As a child, I aspired to be a pilot. Fast forward to today, and I have become a private pilot.
Anastasia Hall, BASc
Project Consultant, Environmental and Industrial Hygiene (Toronto, ON)
Anastasia Hall is a Project Consultant with a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and a minor in Environmental Engineering. Anastasia brings experience in environmental impact assessments, risk management, and remediation, as well as site investigations and stakeholder collaboration. She has developed engineering solutions, including rainwater harvesting systems for First Nations communities and led environmental assessments focused on soil and groundwater. Anastasia’s blend of technical proficiency and practical approach delivers scientifically robust, actionable insights on complex projects.
Fun Fact: One of the most complex challenges I encountered was working on a project to design a rainwater harvesting system for all-season use in a remote northern community in Ontario. This project was multifaceted and required addressing a variety of sensitive issues to reach a viable solution. Beyond the technical aspects of designing a system that could function year-round, including during harsh winters, the project involved careful consideration of local culture, environmental factors, and community needs. Engaging with the community to understand their specific challenges and priorities was critical. Additionally, there were regulatory, environmental, and logistical hurdles, as well as the need to ensure that the system was sustainable and culturally appropriate. This experience reinforced the importance of listening, collaboration, and sensitivity when working on solutions that serve the unique needs of remote communities.
