- Mystery sheens or mystery spills where the source of the pollution is unknown. Samples are collected and surveys are conducted to determine the source, which may be a sunken vessel, a decommissioned harbor facility or an underground pipeline.
- Historical sunken wrecks are abundant throughout the world. World War II and other military skirmishes left hundreds of vessels at the bottom of the ocean. Drums of hazardous materials can take decades to decompose and require proper handling and disposal.
- Archeological stabilization projects we’ve been awarded include the Clotilda.
- The offshore wind industry has retained salvors to recover damaged blades and coordinate subsea recovery work and environmental cleanup.
- Environmental clean-up equipment includes containment boom, sorbent boom and pads, skimmers, lightering pumps and temporary storage equipment and capacity.
- Wildlife rehabilitation and beach cleanup equipment is deployed at near shore situations.
