Terra Nova Solutions

What Terra Nova Solutions does

Terra Nova Solutions is a regional environmental and industrial services contractor headquartered in High Point, North Carolina, that provides hazardous and non-hazardous waste treatment, field services, and emergency response to industrial and government customers across the Southeast United States. The company operates five permitted facilities in North and South Carolina with centralized wastewater treatment capacity of 35 million gallons annually and solidification capacity exceeding 85 million gallons annually, supported by a fleet of approximately 150 specialized trucks and tankers and a workforce of more than 100 employees trained in DOT and OSHA HAZWOPER standards.

The company's service portfolio spans three categories: wastewater treatment (centralized water treatment and transportation), waste management (solidification, drum and tote management, non-hazardous and hazardous waste handling, recycling, and specialized transportation), and industrial services (plant decontamination, tank cleaning, underground storage tank removal, high-pressure hydroblasting up to 40,000 psi, vacuum services, and emergency response). Technology centers on integrated pre-treatment methods for water discharge compliance, advanced solidification techniques that convert liquid and semi-solid waste into stable materials, and high-pressure hydroblasting systems with specialized 3D nozzles and robotic rotating heads that reduce confined-space entry requirements.

Terra Nova generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven service contracts with municipalities, manufacturing plants, refineries, chemical plants, energy companies, and other industrial facilities, billing on a pay-as-you-go cadence. Following its founding trajectory through the 2018 acquisition of predecessor Zebra Environmental and three subsequent acquisitions (Pinnacle Environmental Services in 2020, Hazmat Emergency Response and Remediation in 2021, and Lee County Solid Waste Facility in 2022), the company was acquired by Clean Harbors, Inc. in May 2026 for $225 million in cash, contributing expected annual revenue of $45-50 million and approximately $15 million in Adjusted EBITDA to the acquirer's Southeast industrial waste platform.
