AWT Environmental Services

What AWT Environmental Services does

AWT Environmental Services, Inc. is a privately held environmental contracting firm incorporated in New Jersey in 1982 and headquartered in Old Bridge, NJ, with its operating footprint concentrated in the Middle Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States (with references to Midwestern project work). The company provides on-site solutions to soil, groundwater, vapor, and hazardous waste contamination across commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential sites, with eight core service lines: site remediation, storage tank cleaning and removal, hazardous waste management, plant services, treatment systems (pump-and-treat, SVE, air sparging, vapor mitigation), drilling and in-situ injection, earth moving and landfills, and shoreline stabilization and erosion control. Technical capabilities are anchored in an owned equipment fleet — including the Terra Sonic TSI 150CC sonic drill rig, Geoprobe 7822, drilling rigs, excavation equipment, vacuum trucks, and treatment system components — and in multi-state regulatory licensing (NJ/NY/PA waste hauler, UST, drillers) that allows work across state lines.

The business operates a sales-led B2B model, generating revenue through project-based contracts with property owners, developers, environmental consultants and engineers, industrial and commercial facilities, insurance carriers, general contractors, and government agencies. Work is acquired through direct sales outreach, consultant and engineering firm referrals, and formal bidding with dedicated in-house estimators. Pricing is determined per project following site assessment and is delivered under multi-year contracts, with quotes formalized through an RFP process. The company is privately held under ownership acquired in 1993, has grown fivefold since that time through organic expansion and acquisitions, and remains small (11–50 employees) with no institutional or venture backing disclosed.
