The company offers sophisticated professional skills and a broad range of scientific, technological and management expertise to meet these challenges. We have great hopes for what that structure and this management team will do to drive this business to new heights. The services provided include the development of cost-effective technologies and solutions to environmental problems, assistance in obtaining governmental permits, preparation of specifications and designs for constructing remedial systems and facilities, and the construction, startup and operation of these facilities. It develops and patents its own technologies and also acquires the use of other technologies through licensing and partnering arrangements. Going private made a lot of sense at a time when there has been a depressed public valuation of small- cap companies.
Government agencies continue to be major contractors for environmental services.
The DOD, for example, is a prime contractor for remediation services as it cleans up contaminated sites at former and current military bases. DOE is also a key contractor as more nuclear plants are decommissioned and efforts continue to clean up the nuclear weapons complex.
