From a spill dating back to the 1970s, Togiak Fisheries was faced with 70,000 tons of diesel- and gasoline-contaminated soil on the shores of Togiak Bay, Alaska.
The remote fish-processing facility wanted to sell, but the plant was stuck with the price tag of $12 million to clean up the contaminated site. The cost was overwhelming, yet so were the challenges that go into cleaning a 5-acre site this remote. Without any roadways, all supplies and equipment would have to be shipped in by barge or plane.
Brady Environmental was able to complete the project for $4 million, dramatically lower than the $12 million market rate, due to its patented system using Leister hot-air tools.
