$1,000,000 Dry Cleaner Property Transaction – Pennsylvania

AGI developed an in situ solidification approach saving the client $250,000+ in off-site disposal and site restoration costs. The $400,000+ project involved an investigation/delineation, risk assessment, treatability evaluation, engineering/design, and closure plan.

Former Scrap Yard near Water Supply – Pennsylvania
