The company delivers two interconnected service lines. The petroleum systems practice handles underground storage tank (UST) and aboveground storage tank (AST) installation, closure, maintenance, fuel management and dispenser systems, electronic tank monitoring, fuel filtration, generator fueling systems, 24-hour emergency spill response, and code-compliant testing, supported by designations as a Gilbarco Veeder-Root Authorized Service Contractor and authorized distributor for PermAlert, Perma-Pipe, Bennett, Fuel Master, Simplex, Kleerblue, Gasboy, Red Jacket, and Veeder-Root. The environmental practice delivers Phase I and II site assessments, asbestos, lead, mold, and PCB testing and abatement, industrial hygiene and indoor air quality assessments, hazardous-waste consulting, and soil/groundwater remediation targeting petroleum, PFAS/PFOS, PCB, solvent, dry-cleaning, and mold impacts, with newer offerings in EV charging and a UXO services subsidiary (UXO Pro, Inc.). Operations are run from five offices across Maryland and Virginia (Laurel, Springfield, Lorton, Richmond, Roanoke) with a roster of approximately 60 professional staff augmented by environmental construction operators and service technicians.

TEC monetizes services through project-based, quote-driven pricing on multi-year contracts, supplemented by hardware resale of petroleum equipment lines. It is licensed as a Class A contractor in Virginia, holds business and asbestos contractor licenses in Maryland and Virginia, EPA Lead-Safe certification, SBA 8(a), MWAA LDBE, and Virginia SWaM status, and operates GSA Contract #GS-10F-0270V.
