TerranearPMC

What TerranearPMC does

TerranearPMC, LLC (TPMC) is a US-based environmental services firm headquartered in Exton, Pennsylvania, formed in 2004 through the merger of PMC Technologies (founded 1989) and Terranear Technologies Group, LLC (founded 2000). The company delivers an integrated portfolio of environmental services to federal and state government clients, with primary emphasis on the Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of Defense (DoD). Core service lines include environmental remediation and compliance under RCRA and CERCLA frameworks, radiological services and waste management (supported by an active NRC license), groundwater treatment and operations and maintenance, military munitions response programs (MMRP), decontamination and decommissioning (D&D), water and wastewater engineering, renewable energy consulting, public/private partnership advisory, and cybersecurity for critical infrastructure. The firm has been recognized with DOE Small Business Protégé of the Year awards in 2007 and 2008 and the 2013 Society of American Military Engineers Excellence in Small Business Environmental Services Award. Technical differentiators include the proprietary HarborRock process for converting dredged harbor spoils into ASTM-compliant lightweight aggregate, advanced geophysical classification tools such as Metal Mapper and TEMTADS, and a Zero Accident safety culture evidenced by 610,000+ man hours without an OSHA recordable incident.

TPMC operates as both a prime contractor and a subcontractor under government contract vehicles spanning ID/IQ (notably an $800M DOE Environmental Restoration/Waste Management ID/IQ), firm-fixed price, performance-based, and cost-reimbursable structures, with documented subcontractor and mentor-protégé relationships with Washington Closure Hanford, EnergySolutions, Bechtel, CH2M Hill, and Parsons. The company has expanded capability through acquisitions including Human Factors Applications, Inc. (HFA, 2010) for ordnance and UXO services, and operates wholly owned subsidiaries HarborRock of Maryland (dredged material P3) and Water/Wastewater Resources Group, plus a joint venture interest in C/P/E Environmental Services, LLC. Revenue derives from professional services engagements delivered on-site at contaminated federal facilities across the United States, with multi-office operations in Exton, Los Alamos, Houston, Rockville, Aiken, Cambridge, Cranbury, Irving, and Washington DC. As an SBA-certified small disadvantaged business and 8(a) program graduate, TPMC is positioned to capture set-aside and small-business subcontracting opportunities, while supporting over $3B in privately financed P3 transactions.

Recent strategic posture reflects a tightening of focus: in 2017 the company divested its infrastructure and asset management line to SIA Solutions, and under CEO Ken Fillman, President Harry R. Kleiser (joined 2012), and Chairman Amar M. Raval, the firm has concentrated on core federal environmental remediation, MMRP, D&D, and adjacent renewable energy and cybersecurity offerings. Customer concentration in federal agencies (with DOE as the anchor) is a defining feature of the business model, balanced by long-tenured staff (less than 5% annual turnover, more than half of employees with 10+ years tenure) that underwrites the safety record and program continuity federal clients demand.
