We’re proud to offer some of the most advanced field capabilities in the region, including:

  • Specialized services in Brownfields remediation and Chemical Injection for in-situ remediation
  • GPR and utility locating to safely support subsurface work and site investigations

Safety is at the core of every project we undertake. Our commitment is reflected in our zero-incident safety record and our active participation in nationally recognized compliance networks. TREC Environmental is fully vetted and subscribed to:

  • Avetta

  • ISNetworld (ISN)

frequently asked questions

frequently asked questions

What areas does TREC serve?2025-10-08T16:16:18+00:00

While TREC does not perform work in the five boroughs of New York City due to insurance requirements, we regularly complete projects across New York State, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.

How large is TREC as a company?2025-10-08T16:15:30+00:00

TREC has always been and will remain a small business. This allows us to maintain high-quality service, experienced staff, and cost-effective project delivery. Clients also benefit from direct access to the owner, which has helped us maintain long-term relationships for over 20 years.

What types of remediation services does TREC provide?2025-10-08T16:12:59+00:00

Remediation is the largest portion of what we do, and about 75% of TREC’s annual work is Brownfield remediation projects. Our services include large-scale excavation, tank removal, site capping, and remedial system installation.

How quickly can you complete a site investigation?2025-10-08T16:14:02+00:00

Our fleet of five (5) Geoprobe rigs and multiple operators allows us to respond faster than most competitors. The main factor that affects timing is usually utility clearance procedures. To help with this, TREC offers both Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and hand clearing services.

Does TREC install monitoring wells?2025-10-08T16:14:41+00:00

Yes. TREC can install both 1” and 2” monitoring wells. Stay tuned for updates on expanded drilling capabilities in the near future.
