Services
Site Remediation
We specialize in comprehensive site remediation for contaminated properties. Our services address soil and groundwater contamination from hazardous substances like perchlorate, hexavalent chromium, and VOCs. Using both ex-situ and in-situ methods, we've successfully completed projects at former industrial sites, schools, and military facilities. Our approach combines engineering precision with practical construction execution to meet regulatory requirements while minimizing environmental impact.
Water Treatment Systems
Our water treatment system construction addresses PFAS, industrial contaminants, and municipal wastewater challenges. We design and build turnkey systems using advanced technologies like membrane filtration and chemical treatment processes. Projects include constructing treatment plants for drinking water purification and upgrading existing infrastructure to meet modern environmental standards. Our mechanical construction division handles system integration and commissioning for seamless operations.
Demolition Services
We provide full-scale demolition and decontamination services for industrial and commercial structures. Our capabilities include hazardous material abatement, controlled demolition of contaminated facilities, and site restoration. Projects range from former manufacturing plants to underground storage tank removals. We follow strict safety protocols to ensure worker protection and environmental compliance during every demolition phase.
Storm Water Management
Our storm water management solutions prevent erosion and control runoff at construction sites. We install conveyance piping, construct detention basins, and build gabion structures to manage water flow. These systems protect surrounding environments while maintaining compliance with local regulations. Our experience includes landfill storm water systems and urban infrastructure projects requiring specialized drainage solutions.
Landfill Closure
We specialize in complete landfill closure operations, including gas collection system installation and leachate management. Our services cover grading, liner installation, and final cover systems that meet environmental regulations. We've completed closures for municipal and industrial landfills, ensuring long-term site stability and environmental protection through proper engineering controls and monitoring systems.
