AWT is a leading area contractor in Site Remediation and Earth Moving Services. The company has performed large-scale excavation and capping projects throughout the Middle Atlantic region. This includes several multi-acre caps constructed of clay, liners and/or asphalt at contaminated sites and landfills.

Experienced project managers, site supervisors and world class heavy equipment operators are at the forefront of the company’s success in this area. The company is particularly well-versed in the techniques of shoring, sheet piling and underpinning needed to protect workers, buildings, roadways and the general public.

Completed projects range from several-day excavations to multi-million dollar land-grading and restoration sites. AWT has also performed remediation of areas of concern within brownfields, wetlands, railroads, or other politically and environmentally sensitive areas.

AWT has performed cleaning, removal and/or abandonment on hundreds of underground and aboveground storage tanks over the years. AWT’s crews handle operational cleaning of petroleum and chemical AST’s at various terminals.

The company has performed countless UST projects that include chemical and solvent tanks ranging from 275-gallon residential tanks to 125,000 gallon concrete military bunkers. UST removal encompasses a wide array of skills such as vapor purging, confined space entry, chemical handling, excavation, backfilling and surface restoration, all of which AWT’s personnel possess.

As part of the site work AWT performs, or as a separate service, AWT handles waste management and removal for numerous customers.

The company’s service in this area includes contaminated soil, sludges, bulk liquids, and drummed waste. Within this area is a specialty Lab Pack Division that segregates laboratory chemicals and packs them in DOT compatibility groups and prepares them for proper shipment, followed by safe, well-documented transportation and disposal using the appropriate treatment technology.

AWT performs various environmentally-oriented facility maintenance services at industrial plants. Customers include Steel Mills, Foundries, Smelters, R&D Firms, Health Institutions, Utilities, Educational Facilities, Plating Operations, and Manufacturing & Assembly Plants.

Services include line pigging and high-pressure water blasting. Many of AWT’s customers find it beneficial to outsource periodic maintenance functions related to pipes, tanks, lines, floor drains, pits and confined spaces to a company with trained crews and proper insurance. This allows you to keep your employees focused on their respective functions within their areas of expertise, while minimizing liability.

AWT can perform decontamination of various media that are contaminated with lead, chromium, PCB’s, oil, mold, mercury and many other agents.

The company has managed and performed plant closures as well as one-time decontamination, renovation, demolition or removal of specific buildings or rooms within a complex or plant. AWT’s estimating and project management staff incorporates the nature and properties of the chemical contaminant along with the characteristics of the media (i.e. concrete, asphalt, wood, sheetrock) to apply the most appropriate remedy. Scarification, stripping/chemical removal and selective demolition are some of the solutions provided.

AWT provides Geoprobe® direct-push drilling technology to assist environmental consultants in the collection of samples during site investigations. Several varieties are available, including traditional 4x4 pickup-mounted units and smaller track-mounted drills allowing access to rougher terrain and/or tighter areas. AWT can help collect soil and groundwater samples using continuous or discrete sampling, as well as helping to perform soil-gas surveys.

AWT couples this service with test pit excavations to help consultants perform delineation on the simplest to the most challenging sites. Involving AWT early in the process also makes available experts for budgetary estimates of remediation and construction costs.

AWT can install Soil-Vapor Extraction (SVE), Groundwater Pump & Treat, and other systems for the in-situ treatment of soil and groundwater. The company does not provide design professionals, but will perform the mechanical installation of well points, interceptor trenches, piping, tanks and carbon treatment components.

AWT can also install advanced dewatering systems used to lower the water table allowing for deeper excavations in historically wet areas. AWT can implement your design by filling the gap between the blueprint and system startup.

AWT primarily performs residential services for insurance carriers and their consultants. Work performed at residential homes includes Microbial/Mold Decontamination, Lead-Based Paint Abatement and Heating Oil Tank Removal & Remediation.

AWT specializes in Leaking Underground Storage Tanks for homeowner insurance carriers’ claims managers and adjusters and environmental consultants who perform site investigations and oversight for these properties.

The company is especially adept at supporting and underpinning houses where contamination exists under the basement or slab and/or sites where groundwater is impacted, requiring dewatering, excavation and restoration.
