Environmental clean-up projects come with high stakes and complexity. Whether you’re dealing with contaminated soil, aging and failing infrastructure, or the aftermath of a natural disaster, you need a contractor who can tackle the technical challenges while strictly adhering to environmental regulations. Caltech Environmental Construction specializes in full-scope environmental remediation services that protect both your community and your bottom line. We combine heavy construction capabilities with environmental expertise to turn hazardous sites into safe, usable spaces again.
Unlike typical contractors, we offer end-to-end management of remediation projects – from initial site assessment and planning through final restoration. Our experienced team understands the urgency and precision these projects require. We develop a customized plan to address your site’s specific issues and execute it with care, speed, and attention to detail. The result is a thoroughly remediated site that meets regulatory requirements and allows you to move forward with confidence.
Comprehensive Site Preparation & Infrastructure
Contaminated Soil Excavation & Removal
Safely removing polluted soil, sediment, or underground contaminants from your site. We excavate and haul away hazardous or petroleum-impacted soils, old underground storage tanks, and other contaminated materials, disposing of them in accordance with environmental laws.
Hazardous Debris Cleanup
Clearing and disposing of debris from wildfires, floods, or industrial accidents. From charred trees and ash to demolished structures containing hazardous substances, we have the equipment and training to clean up your site while minimizing risk to surrounding areas.
Wastewater & Treatment Systems
Designing and constructing on-site treatment solutions for wastewater or contaminated groundwater. We can implement advanced septic systems, filtration units, or other treatment facilities to address issues like failing septic fields or polluted water sources. Our expertise in wastewater engineering ensures long-term, regulatory-compliant performance.
Site Stabilization & Restoration
Regrading and stabilizing the land after remediation to prevent future issues like erosion or collapse. We rebuild and compact affected areas, install proper drainage and retention systems, and can re-cover sites with clean soil. The site will be left secure, contoured correctly, and ready for its next intended use.
Environmental Construction Support
Providing any additional civil construction needs tied to your remediation project. This can include drilling for soil sampling or well installation, constructing access roads to remote clean-up areas, or building containment berms and liners. Whatever supporting infrastructure is required to complete the remediation safely, our team can deliver it.
Caltech provides a wide range of environmental remediation and site restoration services under one roof. By entrusting us with your project, you eliminate the need to coordinate multiple specialty vendors. Our integrated services ensure nothing is overlooked.
Our all-in-one approach ensures that each phase of the cleanup proceeds smoothly into the next. By overseeing every step, we maintain strict quality control and safety standards throughout the project. You get a fully coordinated remediation effort that saves time, reduces liability, and achieves complete site restoration more efficiently.
Technical Innovation & Expertise
Environmental challenges often demand innovative solutions. Caltech brings specialized expertise and state-of-the-art technology to tackle remediation problems that standard methods can’t resolve. Our team includes experts in excavation, geotechnical work, and wastewater treatment design, enabling us to engineer custom solutions for unique site conditions.
We are adept at implementing advanced treatment technologies when needed. For example, our crew has built high-capacity septic and wastewater treatment systems for disaster relief sites and rural communities, meeting extraordinary demands under tight timelines. We stay up to date on the latest remediation techniques — from bioremediation and soil stabilization methods to modern filtration systems — and apply the right tools for the job at hand. This technical know-how means we can often solve complex contamination issues faster or more cost-effectively than a conventional approach.
In every project, we carefully assess the site’s conditions and the contaminants involved, then choose the best remediation strategy. We aren’t locked into one solution or product; instead, we tailor our methods to what will work best for your situation. Our ability to both design and build gives you a seamless solution: we can take an engineered remediation plan and bring it to life in the field, adjusting in real-time to overcome any obstacles encountered below ground or in the environment.

Handling environmental hazards requires an uncompromising focus on safety and regulatory compliance. At Caltech, we take all necessary measures to protect your team, our crew, and the surrounding community throughout the remediation process. Our staff is trained in hazardous waste operations and emergency response protocols, ensuring that every task is performed with the proper protective equipment and procedures.
We also navigate the complex web of environmental regulations on your behalf. Our project managers work closely with local and state agencies, environmental regulators, and independent inspectors to secure the needed permits and approvals for your project. We adhere to all applicable laws – from proper waste manifesting and disposal documentation to air quality and water discharge standards. By conducting remediation by the book, we help you avoid fines, legal issues, and negative public exposure.
During the project, we maintain strict oversight and quality control. We monitor environmental indicators (like runoff water quality or airborne dust) to ensure our work isn’t causing secondary impacts. Safety briefings and audits occur regularly to keep the job site incident-free. Our commitment to safety and compliance gives you peace of mind that the remediation is being handled responsibly and professionally from start to finish.
Proven Performance in Challenging Environments
Our past projects demonstrate our capability and reliability. We’ve successfully built emergency wastewater treatment systems to support thousands of disaster relief workers, showcasing our ability to perform under pressure when timelines are critical. We’ve turned around failing environmental systems for clients, like replacing obsolete septic setups with modern treatment plants that meet strict regulatory standards. In each case, we delivered a solution that not only resolved the immediate problem but also provided long-term reliability.
What sets us apart is our unwavering dedication to doing the job right. Clients trust us because we communicate honestly, evaluate all options objectively, and follow through on our promises. We approach every remediation with a problem-solving mindset and the resources to handle any surprises along the way. When you partner with Caltech for environmental remediation, you gain a seasoned team that is as invested in restoring your site as you are.
In the end, removing environmental hazards is just the beginning – our goal is to help you reclaim the full value and use of your property. With Caltech leading your remediation project, you can move forward knowing that the issues have been resolved safely, thoroughly, and with the future health of your site in mind.
