Our Proven Process

1. Understand the Site

Every successful remediation starts with getting the science right.

We begin with a detailed site evaluation and , if needed, a refinement of the Conceptual Site Model (CSM), building a clear picture of what’s happening below the surface.

  • Analyze hydrogeology, plume geometry, and contaminant  distribution
  • Close critical data gaps before active remediation begins using the RDC process
  • Visualize the RDC and CSM data in 3-D using ESM Software 

When needed, we work with your team to strengthen the dataset and improve the accuracy of the site model.

Result: A remediation strategy focused on total mass—not just short-term symptom reduction.


2. Apply the Right Treatment

No two sites are the same. We tailor both the chemistry and the delivery method to match site conditions.

Our team deploys a targeted combination of proven remediation technologies, such as:

  • Activated carbon-based platforms (including Trap & Treat®)
  • In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) and reduction (ISCR)
  • Bioremediation
  • Sequestration (for PFAS)
  • Stabilization (for heavy metals) 

These are delivered using injection techniques designed to maximize subsurface distribution and effectiveness.

Result: Efficient, controlled treatment that adapts in real time for maximum effectiveness.


3. Prove Long-Term Results

Most firms stop after installation. We don’t.

We stay engaged to verify that remediation is actually working—and continues to work over time.

  • Track contaminant reduction through to completion
  • Monitor geochemical and hydrogeological changes
  • Confirm mass flux is controlled and stable for PRBs and PABs

This closed-loop process gives clients confidence in both the outcome and the data behind it.

Result: Measurable, defensible results—and eligibility for performance-based contracting.


Why It Works

Our process is built on science, refined in the field, and proven across real-world sites.

  • Data-driven decisions from day one
  • Precision application in complex subsurface environments
  • Ongoing validation—not assumptions

That’s how we consistently outperform traditional remediation approaches.
