Client Testimonials

TRS Group provides advanced technologies for thermal treatment and removal of contaminants, including PFAS, from soil, groundwater and rock. The methods utilized allow contaminated sites to be effectively cleaned and quickly returned to service. Unique thermal remediation approaches reduce client costs and provide high results that are often guaranteed. TRS Group is active in international partnerships in Brazil, China and Europe, making the company a leader in this field. The focus is on reducing the costs of cleaning up contaminated sites, which benefits all parties. When it comes to a variety of solutions, an important element can be the recreational opportunities offered by today's online platforms. For example, the slot machines available online provide a great opportunity to relax after a challenging day, as well as take advantage of bonus offers for additional winnings. But where to find the best online casinos with slot machines? It is important to be confident in your choice and here to help comes the resource Smartbonus, which gives an extensive review of the best online casinos with slot machines. These platforms allow you to enjoy classic games in a comfortable environment from the comfort of your own home. Cleaning up the area from harmful substances and introducing advanced technologies are important steps towards the restoration and development of the environment.
"The TRS Group field team did a remarkable job cleaning the AFFF from our ARFF vehicles, especially the hard-to-reach components, reducing our firefighters’ exposure to PFAS. TRS’s PerfluorAdTM technology, which is far more effective than applying a triple rinse of water, allowed us to process the waste stream onsite, significantly lowering our hazardous waste transportation and disposal costs. Further, TRS was a great partner helping us set up a regional center for the cleanout of two local airport ARFF Trucks in addition to ours."
Randy Krause, Fire ChiefPort of Seattle
“Environmental Restoration has enjoyed partnering with TRS on thermal remediation projects since 2017. TRS is a knowledgeable and professional partner whose technical expertise has been invaluable in remediating challenging Superfund Sites.”
Andrew GrimmkeEnvironmental Restoration
“Working with TRS on this project was one of the highlights of my career. Coming into the project, I was excited knowing that it would be a combined remedy with a few site-specific nuances. From the onset of construction, to operation, to thermal destruction of the TCE source area, to final decommissioning of the equipment, the TRS team was exceptional at communicating with me what data they needed for successful implementation of their thermal system. We had an opportunity to take some of the members of the regulatory authority on a tour of the site and answer questions with members of the TRS field crew. It’s always a pleasure when you can educate and impress the regulators. The client was ecstatic about the results that we achieved and I can’t wait until I have the opportunity to work on the next problem site with TRS."
Scott Connors, Senior GeologistWilcox Environmental Engineering
"As a member of the Department of Defense’s ESTCP review committee, I evaluated, and ultimately approved, TRS Group’s proposal to demonstrate their ex-situ thermal desorption technology for PFAS-impacted soils at Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks, Alaska. Not only did TRS achieve the goal of reaching an average soil pile temperature of 350 degrees Celsius, but TRS, at its own expense, also kept the system running and reached an average temperature of 414 degrees. The TRS project and engineering professionals were dedicated, worked diligently, and communicated well throughout the project. Subsequently, as a reviewer for DOD’s Defense Innovation Unit, I evaluated, and ultimately approved, TRS’s funding request for a similar, but larger, ex-situ soil project in Anchorage, Alaska, to compare the cost-efficiency of TRS’s thermal desorption technology to similar technologies for PFAS-impacted soil."
Richard "Hunter" Anderson, Ph.D.U.S. Air Force
"It was a pleasure to work with and learn from TRS as they performed an AFFF cleanout of a firefighting vehicle at a major airport on the West Coast using their patented PerfluorAdTM solution. TRS brought a wealth of knowledge and technical expertise in decontaminating firefighting apparatuses exposed to PFAS-containing AFFF, leading to a successful project implementation. We look forward to working with TRS again in the future."
Shayan Simantob, District ManagerEFI Global
“TRS Group came on to our project at a critical time and was able to take on contractual performance risks that were requirements of the project. Due to the financial stability of their firm, TRS was also able to secure the necessary payment and performance bonding to provide further assurances to Ramboll and our client. Further, TRS held the patents to thermal conductive heating technology that ensured their ability to fully execute the project. They provided and met an aggressive schedule that was required by the client all while working through COVID with multiple out-of-state drilling subcontractors. Performance of the thermal conduction heating system exceeded expectations. Performance was confirmed through soil temperature and energy monitoring as well as vapor-based asymptote tracking. Once these lines of evidence were met, soil sampling was performed and confirmed that the soil goals had been exceeded by an order of magnitude. As challenges presented themselves, TRS took a collaborative approach with Ramboll and our client to ensure the project moved forward in a mutually beneficial, productive way.”
Bruce Kennington, PrincipalRamboll
“TRS did exactly what they said they would do, and in less time than we expected. From their engineering team to their field crew, they took care of everything, answered our questions along the way and were very professional to work with.”
Eugene M. Watson, Regional ManagerHRP Associates, Inc.
“I tend to be skeptical of most in situ remediation technologies. Just because a concept proves effective in a lab, doesn’t mean it will always translate to your site. There’s one exception. After using in situ thermal remediation on one of our projects, I’m a believer. ISTR works. If you can deliver the heat, you can extract your source.”
Jonathan Shuptar P.G., GeologistV3 Companies
“TRS closely collaborated with our team and was a true partner that shared real project risk. Throughout the complex implementation of the project, TRS unwaveringly met the needs and addressed the concerns of multiple stakeholders, including a major railroad, community organization, US Army Corps of Engineers, US Air Force, US EPA and utilities. TRS’s professionalism, technical proficiency and leadership yielded a successful outcome lauded by our Government clients and resulted in ‘Exceptional’ Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) ratings for three years in all categories.”
Ken Cottrell, PrincipalHydroGeoLogic
"I appreciate their dedication to client service, their hard work, commitment to quality, going above and beyond, giving it their all, solving problems in a quality way and excellent communication skills. I really appreciate their ability to solve problems without needless change orders. They are rock stars."
