ABOUT US

We were founded in 1990 to answer the needs of the local industrial and marine community. Using this service as a solid foundation, we have expanded our company into a full service general contractor including all avenues of hazardous and non-hazardous marine and industrial services, cleaning, and waste transportation. 

 

Our customers include many major facility owners and operators, world premier industrial service providers, ship owners, operators, and agents, along with multi-family properties and treatment plants.

OUR MISSION

To provide all of our commercial and industrial customers with the highest level of quality, service, and attention to detail while creating and providing cost-effective and compliant solutions for our customers' hazardous and non-hazardous waste transportation and cleaning needs.

 

Our highly trained and licensed technicians will use best industry practices and state-of-the-art equipment, in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations, to solve and meet your most difficult service needs.
