REMTECH LEADERSHIP AND MISSION

Remtech Engineers principals have over 90 years of experience in the environmental contracting services, emergency spill response, environmental remediation, industrial services, and waste-to-energy projects. Our principals have completed over 10,000 projects since 1975 with an excellent safety record.  Remtech is certified member of ISNetworld Ravs Plus and Avetta safety programs with "A" ratings.

Remtech project management and leadership is by Board Certified Environmental Engineers (by the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists), Certified Hazardous Materials Managers, and Certified Safety Professionals. This ensures peer-reviewed proven cost-effective, and state-of-the-art solutions to complex environmental problems. Remtech's unique approach to hazardous materials spills and environmental remediations with qualified individuals facilitates forensic investigations that documents root cause(s) that provides evidence to recover damages from responsible parties. In addition, Remtech crisis management approach "returns out of control" events to manageable projects that minimizes production down time and saves money.

Remtech was founded by Mark D. Ryckman in 1988.
