Trident Environmental Group

What Trident Environmental Group does

Trident Environmental Group, LLC is a privately held environmental contracting firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Norfolk, Massachusetts. The company delivers a broad portfolio of environmental, health, and safety services to government, industrial, commercial, and real estate development clients, organized around four primary verticals: 24/7 emergency response for oil and chemical releases; soil, groundwater, and site remediation; underground storage tank management (cleaning, decommissioning, removal, and installation of tanks from 275-gallon residential to 3,000,000-gallon industrial capacities); and waste transportation and disposal. Service revenue is generated on a project-based pricing model with multi-year contracts, sold primarily through direct sales, a 24/7 emergency phone line, and reputation-driven inbound inquiries, with government incident command credentials (MADEP, USEPA) and demonstrated national disaster response capability.

Underlying technology centers on a specialized 60+ vehicle fleet (roll-off trucks, vacuum trucks, frac tanks, heavy equipment) and proprietary/branded methodologies including the EPA-registered SteraMist BIT Binary Ionization Technology for disinfection (No. 90150-2, Health Canada DIN: 02469448), the Liquid Boot spray-applied vapor intrusion membrane system with 30+ years of field-proven performance, and in-situ remediation techniques (biosolve-based soil treatment, soil vapor extraction, air sparging, bioremediation, solidification). Supporting capabilities include dry ice blasting, pressure washing, confined-space entry, and licensed asbestos abatement. The company operates on Oracle NetSuite ERP (implemented March 2024) and holds Avetta/ISN contractor prequalifications, indicating institutional readiness for larger enterprise and government contracts.

Customer segments span municipal and state government, industrial and commercial property owners, construction/development firms, and first-responder utilities. Notable engagements include the Worcester Ice Center brownfields redevelopment (2018 EBC New England James D.P. Farrell Award), Destiny USA and MASS MOCA commercial redevelopments, Troy Mills industrial decontamination, and incident command roles on the I-91 hazardous materials release. Ownership is concentrated with founder/CEO William Nineve (U.S. Coast Guard Academy engineering background, 31+ years industry experience) and COO Patrick Quinn, supported by an operational leadership team largely recruited from Clean Harbors and adjacent competitors.
