Understanding Finance, Expert in Solutions
GaiaTech’s approach to site remediation and closure activities is unique among environmental firms. We have particular expertise in helping our investor and industrial clients to analyze and understand the CapEx commitments necessary to achieving their environmental objectives while balancing regulatory compliance and operational risk.
Working directly from the results of due diligence, GaiaTech helps company management resolve identified issues, presenting cost-effective, practical solutions. We design remediation plans that put the viability of the operating business as our foremost consideration. We then deliver comprehensive engineering solutions to environmental problems while protecting the corporate bottom line and the ongoing value of the investment.

Our experienced engineers and scientists are trained in emissions and air quality management, hydrogeology, water and waste treatment technologies, hazardous materials management, and innovative remediation alternatives. We have developed and implemented numerous agency-approved assessment and monitoring plans for a range of applications and conditions, including environmental closure plans for US EPA Superfund sites. Other services include analyzing data, developing remedial alternatives, benchmarking and treatability studies, permitting, community relations, agency negotiation, and remedial plan approval.
STOP: The critical second opinion
GaiaTech’s Second Technical Opinion Program (STOP) provides our clients an independent review of the current approach and cost of a proposed or ongoing remediation project, to ensure that program costs are tracking in line with industry norms. Our STOP includes the following activities:
- Review of available reports and agency letters on the remediation project
- Interviewing management and, where necessary, client counsel to review project progress
- Preparing a summary report outlining a revised, more cost-effective remediation and site closure plan, if appropriate.
Clients have told us that our STOP program helps them control costs and monitor project progress.
