About Tindall Enterprises

Over 37 years of dedicated environmental services, laboratory testing, and utility management serving communities across Southeast Georgia.

Our History

From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leader

Altamaha Laboratories, a small laboratory and facility management firm, was founded in 1987 by Merrill Tindall. Mr. Tindall had devoted 15 years to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division and decided to follow his dreams of owning his own environmental firm. From its humble beginnings, Mr. Tindall grew his business into a leader in the water and wastewater industry within the State of Georgia. This steady growth over many years is one of the key ways Tindall has built its business on a solid foundation.

In 1995, Mr. Tindall gained full control of the firm when his partners retired. It was at this time that Tindall Enterprises, Inc. was formed. Through his many years with the GAEPD, Mr. Tindall developed a working relationship with the many branches of the EPD, as well as other entities within the environmental industry.

In May 2017, Mr. Tindall retired and passed the torch to his youngest son, Jonathan Tindall. Now that the second generation of the Tindall family has taken over the company, those relationships are growing even stronger. Jon Tindall, the new president of Tindall, regularly attends meetings in Atlanta with EPD Directors and State lawmakers to discuss current issues facing our public and private utilities. These relationships enhance support that Tindall clients receive during storm events, emergency management, and other issues that may arise at water and wastewater facilities.
