Selling remediation equipment is not like selling donuts, but both can give you a stomach ache at times. On occasion we receive really good bid documents and drawings, other times it might be a phone call and a sketch. In either case, we can’t just take the bid request at face value and give them what they ask for when we often find critical mistakes in their design.

Whether you consciously think about it or not, you are always involved in public relations when conducting geologic investigations. In addition to the technical skills required to successfully complete a project, the things you say and do (your attitude) can have a significant impact on how well the job goes. The example I am going to give you is something that happened decades ago, and it is just as relevant now as it was then. Some things don’t change much. Good PR is important!

Although Enviro-Equipment, Inc. (EEI) wasn't around in 1970 when the first Earth Day took place, we have always appreciated that the world comes together one day a year to show appreciation for and commitment to both nature and our planet's environment.

Compressors are used for a number of purposes on remediation projects including:

I attended a meeting in August of this year held by The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) in Columbia, SC to discuss proposed State Underground Petroleum Environmental Response Bank 

When testing for dissolved oxygen in the field, an important thing to consider is the type of dissolved oxygen (DO) meter to use. There are several different types of DO sensing technologies, most of which fall under the category of optical or electrochemical sensors.

I began working for Enviro Equipment, Inc. (EEI) during September of 2011, as an undergraduate earth sciences major at the UNC Charlotte. I discovered the Environmental Specialist Assistant position on a job board through my university and hoped that the job could provide insight into the environmental consulting industry.

What is a QAPP? When I first heard the acronym a few years ago it sounded like something you may step in while mowing your yard if you have a dog, but it is not!

When a client needs to purchase or rent a gas monitor, I’m routinely asked either “How do I calibrate a gas meter?” or “How often should I calibrate (or recalibrate) the monitor?”
