Emergency Response / HazMat

When chemical spills or emergency response situations occur, there is typically no time for second-guessing. You need someone you can depend on to respond quickly, efficiently and professionally. Moreover, you need someone who offers an experienced staff, highly specialized skills, and a solid reputation in HAZMAT service response.

We have the experience and relationships to communicate with local, state, and federal regulators as well as your emergency responders. From on-the-scene management and mitigation services to sampling and lab analysis and EPA report writing, we can handle your emergency anywhere, anytime.

Often, your chemical spill may warrant remedial activities involving specialized tanker trucks or other heavy equipment once the immediate threat to your situation is secured. We can assist you with turnkey services in obtaining closure for your hazardous material incident through our well-organized staff of technicians, chemists, operators, certified hazardous material managers, engineers, site safety officers, and project managers.
