Tulsa, OK – MIGO – A & M – HAEMERS WOSB, Joint Venture (JV) was selected to work on the Region 7 Valley Park Trichloroethylene (TCE) Operable Unit 01 Remedial Action – In-Situ Thermal Remediation (ISTR) project awarded by the Environmental Protectional Agency (EPA). The purpose of this project is to perform site remediation of subsurface contaminated soil using ISTR technology. The site was formerly a metal stamping, tool and die shop. The site operated from 1949 to 1979 using solvents that contained TCE and perchloroethylene (PCE).

After nearly three decades worth of soil to decontaminate, the team is using the most effective and cost efficient ISTR technology available to safely remediate the site. The technology, Smart Burners™, heats soils to temperatures that volatilize subsurface contaminants, then recovers them through a vapor extraction network and recycles them as fuel or captures and treats them aboveground. Using ISTR, the team will be able to decontaminate the soil without excavation, with minimal disturbance to the area, while safely removing the chemicals from the ground.

Haemers continuous commitment to invent, improve and apply thermal desorption technologies, such as the Smart Burners™, a technique that removes a wide range of pollutants from heavy hydrocarbons to mercury and chlorinated solvents, in all types of soils. Our engineers are the inventors of the first mobile thermal systems and the awardwinning Smart Burners™ for both in situ and ex situ thermal remediation applications, while recovering energy and contaminants. Haemers unique business model helps reduce overall remediation costs, environmental impacts and increases the applicability to projects at remote locations.

Work for the project started on September 4th, 2024. Project managers for the joint tri-venture expect the project to be completed by September 2027. Daily reports are being sent from the JV partners to the EPA for evaluation. Once the EPA has deemed the soil quality satisfactory, the site will begin to be decommissioned.

A & M continues its long-standing commitment to protecting human health and the surrounding environment in the tri-state area of Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma with two recent mine waste remediation project awards in support of EPA Region 7.

A & M is proud to be supporting our strategic partners with flood damage repairs associated with the historic floods of 2019 along the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System.

The project will restore and repair channel outlets, channel erosion areas, scour holes and eroded embankments along the river.  This project showcases the importance of maintaining the infrastructure to the navigation system that is the essential for waterway commerce in the region.

Kudos to the project team for the successful and safe completion of the S Kerr location. 4 more repair locations to go.

A & M Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (A & M) is pleased to be working with our strategic partners to remediate mine waste on the Cherokee County Superfund site on the Kansas/Oklahoma border.

The project consists of excavation, consolidation, and disposal of mine waste and associated soil/sediments contaminated with heavy metals.
