Munitions And Chemical Warfare Materiel Remediation

We deliver advanced solutions to remediate military munitions, hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW), and Chemical Warfare Materiel (CWM), protecting people and restoring environments for safe, productive use. Our approach combines advanced geophysical methods, robust safety protocols, and innovative engineering to address complex, high-risk sites.

Protecting People. Restoring Environments.

With over 30 years of experience, our team delivers comprehensive munitions response and environmental engineering services to the Department of Defense, Department of State, and a wide range of state, municipal, and commercial clients. We have successfully completed over 1,000 projects for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the National Guard, the Air Force, and the Navy, earning a reputation for precision and reliability.

Our toolbox enables us to select the best solution for each project, optimizing performance and efficiency of operations based on terrain, geology, types of munitions, depths of interest, weather, and interferences.

Advanced Geophysical Solutions

We deliver comprehensive geophysical solutions for munitions detection and classification, utilizing both conventional and advanced technologies. Our expertise covers land and underwater investigations, accurately determining contamination boundaries and pinpointing suspected disposal or burial sites.

By integrating digital geophysical mapping (DGM), advanced geophysical classification (AGC), LiDAR, aerial imagery, and drone-based surveys, we produce high-resolution subsurface maps and prioritize anomalies for targeted remediation. These innovative tools enable us to reduce investigation footprints, safeguard ecological and cultural resources, and enhance project efficiency and value through site-specific strategies.

We provide full lifecycle support for Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) requirements, including:

  • Site Inspection
  • Remedial Investigation
  • Feasibility Study
  • Proposed Plan
  • Decision Document
  • Remedial Design
  • Remedial Action

AI Crater Identification

AI Crater Identification

Our advanced, AI-driven solution revolutionizes the identification of bomb-related craters across large, formerly used defense sites. Leveraging high-resolution Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) elevation data, our process delivers precise and actionable results:

  • Eliminates large-scale topographic variations for clearer analysis
  • Detects and measures potential craters with exceptional accuracy
  • Utilizes machine learning algorithms to differentiate bombing craters from natural land features

This innovative approach has uncovered previously unknown bombing target areas, significantly improving site characterization and informing effective remediation strategies.

Collaboration For Project Success
