Remediation Services

 EEI has completed a variety of field remediation projects, as well as a variety of remedial system designs, installation, operation and maintenance projects for our customers. Having been in the remedial industry since RCRA's inception in 1976, EEI has observed the industry from its infancy to the present. Utilizing our own equipment we have developed a portfolio of experience in the area of excavation and disposal, facility decontamination, rigging and dismantling of heavy steel, and the removal of chemical residuals from sites. Owning our own transportation resources allow EEI to provide our customers with roll-off boxes. We can also provide dump trailers, a low boy for hauling equipment and frac tanks. Our trucking company (MET) is fully certified to transport hazardous and non-hazardous materials. The success of any remedial design is rooted in the expert understanding, consideration and evaluation of all remedial options.

EEI's Field Service Division in conjunction with our Environmental Assessment Group provides our clients with a variety of reports from detailed Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) closure reports to simple grid plans and diagrams. EEI will structure any post-remediation services around the clients' needs and goals while providing a quality, environmentally sound remediation project with direct EEI project control and management.

Facility Closures and Decontamination

Facility closures consolidate into one project all the services of the various EEI divisions. EEI's Field Services Division's "Value Added Service" advantage is its extensive experience with closures. EEI has completed the closure of various types of facilities including plating operations, which used cyanides, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) treatment facilities, storage facilities and other types of operations. This work has given EEI and its personnel extensive experience in working with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulators and regulations. This technical and regulatory experience is crucial in providing a comprehensive, economically balanced closure service.

EEI was involved in the clean out of approximately thirty tanks and 90,000 square feet of building for a company relocating to Cincinnati, Ohio. This project involved the clean up of floors, walls, trench drains, a large number of tank cleanings, mezzanine areas, decontamination of areas contaminated with carcinogens, the clean out of sumps and equipment for removal, and decontamination of various dryers and equipment. This project also involved the clean out and encapsulation of asbestos containing materials from a boiler house building, as well as the decontamination of reaction vessels and tanks used for processing pigments containing heavy metals, flammable materials, acids, and caustics.

PCB Services

The EEI family of services provides a comprehensive PCB program. The Field Services Division performs PCB transformer draining, flushing and disposing. EEI's Field Services Division, through EEI's Treatment, Storage, Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) will dispose of PCB light ballast, capacitors, switches, and other PCB containing materials. Furthermore, EEI's TSDF is a permitted TSCA storage facility for PCB's. EEI has participated in the draining and flushing of PCB transformers in the eastern United States.

All EEI Field Service Personnel have had formal Confined Space Entry Training. Sound safety protocols are EEI's Field Service Division's first priority in providing industrial cleaning and decontamination services.
