Emergency Response

The challenge as we see it

Millions of facilities in North America manufacture, use or store hazardous materials. Since these materials are transported by road, rail, pipeline and water, and are stored prior to use, just about any company is vulnerable to an accidental spill or natural disasters. When a spill or disaster does occur, it requires a highly specialized team with the equipment and training to bring the incident to closure as quickly, safely and cost-effectively as possible.
