Government

COLUMBIA takes a strategic, full-lifecycle approach to environmental remediation for federal, state, and local agencies.

Our approach is highly collaborative, multi-faceted, delivered at scale, and driven by the high-resolution data and 3D analysis that enables precise, high-quality remediation of toxic sites. On every engagement, we work with our clients to achieve five, key objectives:

Effectively serve the mission goals of federal agencies.
Use high-resolution site characterization and advanced 3D data analytics to inform the site remediation approach.
Recommend and use the remediation methods that will achieve all sustainability objectives at the lowest possible cost.
Execute a flawless remediation of the site.
Enable reuse of a site for work and living for the long-term.

We work with federal agencies both directly and through subcontracts large environmental integrators. Our government customers include:

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

U.S. Air Force Civil Engineer Center (USACEC) – Design/Construction & Environmental

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) – DIS, HTRW, ER-MATOC

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)

U.S. Navy Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) – CLEAN, RAC, & EMAC

Capabilities for the Federal Market

We offer a suite of services that are tailored to the needs of government customers:

Optimization of Remediation Systems – through a systematic evaluation of installed systems, in-situ geochemical and parameters, contaminant distribution, and transport pathways to establish performance metrics for future liability management.
Remediation Alternatives Analysis – where we perform a detailed financial and operational analysis of possible remedial approaches to determine which approach will deliver a superior outcome at the lowest possible cost.

Hi-Res Site Characterization – to map the full extent of contaminated land in support of remediation design, evaluation of failed remediation efforts, followed by optimization of existing remediation systems. Our services include:
- Remote Sensing
- UAV Drone Data Collection
- Direct Push and Direct Sensing Technologies
- Membrane Interface Probe (MIP and Low-Level MIP)
- Hydraulic Profiling (HPT)
- Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF-UVOST®)
- Optical Interface Probe (OIP)
- High-Resolution Sampling
- Onsite Analytical Screening & Analyses

Real-Time Hi-Res Data Analysis using our SmartData Solutions® Platform – to deliver three major advantages for government customers:
- Best Data. Unique high-resolution data of the lateral and vertical extent of soil and groundwater contamination.
- Deepest Understanding. A complete overview of local site geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, and contaminant chemistry.
- Pinpoint Recommendations. More accurate delineation for the best possible remediation design.

Our Team

All of COLUMBIA Technologies’ technical staff members are degreed, experienced geochemists with a thorough understanding of high-resolution site characterization. More importantly, our team knows how to get in, get the job done right the first time and provide professional, high-resolution imagery for communicating actual site conditions to management, the command, the community and other stakeholders.

As it is throughout the government, health, and safety are a top priority at COLUMBIA. We have compiled a record of ZERO lost workdays throughout our 26-year history. Each operator is trained and adheres to COLUMBIA’s approved Standard Operating Procedure for direct sensing, and all field personnel have completed a robust set of safety and security training, including:
