Services
Remedial Investigation
Our remedial investigations identify contamination sources and develop defensible conceptual site models. We integrate geologic, hydrogeologic, and chemical data to create cost-effective remediation strategies. Our team performs multimedia sampling, aquifer testing, and bench-scale studies to support regulatory compliance and closure objectives.
In-Situ Remediation
We implement advanced in-situ technologies including chemical oxidation, thermal desorption, and soil vapor extraction. Our methods minimize business disruption while accelerating regulatory closure. We've successfully applied these techniques to chlorinated solvents and petroleum hydrocarbon contamination across diverse geologies.
Groundwater Modeling
Our groundwater modeling services predict contaminant transport and optimize remediation systems. We use state-of-the-art software combined with field data to develop accurate predictive models that support regulatory negotiations and remediation planning for complex sites.
Regulatory Negotiation
We act as client advocates during regulatory negotiations, developing strategies that balance compliance requirements with business objectives. Our experts have successfully negotiated closure agreements with federal and state agencies for over 200 projects.
Strategic Planning
Our strategic planning services create clear pathways from site characterization to regulatory closure. We develop integrated approaches that address technical challenges while minimizing business impact, ensuring efficient project execution across all phases of environmental remediation.
