Mission
Tri-S specializes in water resources engineering, which it recognizes as a key to maintaining our livelihood as a nation. The emphasis is on protection and restoration of the environment so that our precious water resources are maintained in the end.

Petroleum refinery contamination is a worldwide problem, which few engineering firms have solved. At Tri-S, we act as a third-party between the property owner and regulatory agencies by implementing an overall project approach that emphasizes sensibility and minimizes risk in context of the practical limitations of remediation technology. A risk assessment analysis is conducted, which takes into account the migration of pollutants and potential exposure to population groups. A compromise is reached between the two extremes of removing every organic molecule from the soil and and leaving the problem unaddressed. A well defined strategy is developed and is clearly communicated to all parties.

Chlorinated solvents at manufacturing facilities are another worldwide problem for which there is no magic bullet. Chemicals travel deep in the earth and are not fully recoverable with any technology. As in the case of other environmental pollutants such as herbicides, pesticides, radionuclides and biological toxins, the solution is always compromise through a negotiation process.

Tri-S Environmental has relationships with a variety of environmental remediation technology companies. With complex environmental problems come combinations of various technologies applied at each location. Our experience is to solve the puzzle and come up with the most practical and cost efficient systems that achieve a compromise. 

One world, one environment. Our philosophy is meeting society's needs in cooperation with nature.

Founder's Message
When choosing an environmental consulting firm, please ensure the organization is led by a recognized registered environmental professional. Experience, education and publication do matter.
