MIGO Joint Venture Awarded EPA Region 7 Valley Park TCE Remediation
MIGO – A&M – Haemers WOSB, Joint Venture (JV) was selected to perform the EPA Region 7 Valley Park Trichloroethylene (TCE) Operable Unit 01 Remedial Action — In-Situ Thermal Remediation (ISTR) project, awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The purpose of the project is to remediate subsurface contaminated soil using ISTR technology. The site was formerly a metal stamping, tool, and die shop that operated from 1949 to 1979 using solvents containing TCE and perchloroethylene (PCE).
With nearly three decades of soil contamination to address, the team is using one of the most effective and cost-efficient ISTR technologies available to safely remediate the site. The technology, Smart Burners™, heats soils to temperatures that volatilize subsurface contaminants, then recovers them through a vapor-extraction network and recycles them as fuel or captures and treats them aboveground. Using ISTR, the team can decontaminate the soil without excavation, with minimal disturbance to the area, while safely removing the chemicals from the ground.
MIGO Construction Group, Inc. (MIGO) is an SBA-certified EDWOSB and WOSB, and a Hispanic-owned, total small business based in Oklahoma City, OK. MIGO provides general contracting and construction management services for federal agencies. While primarily focused on the Oklahoma City metro area — including Tinker AFB, Fort Sill, Vance AFB, and Altus AFB — MIGO has the experience, resources, and capabilities to support projects and clients throughout the United States.
A&M Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (A&M) was founded by a professional engineer and geologist working in Oklahoma in 1984. A&M has since grown into a diverse firm providing turnkey compliance, consulting, engineering, design, construction, and remediation services to the private sector, government agencies, and Native American tribes. Its professional staff includes environmental specialists, engineers, inspectors, geologists and hydrogeologists, health and safety specialists, and biologists, along with project managers, equipment operators, and field technicians — and it owns and operates its own fleet of heavy construction equipment.
Haemers Technologies® (Haemers) is a technology provider active in thermal soil remediation with more than 30 years of experience. Haemers is committed to inventing, improving, and applying thermal desorption technologies such as the Smart Burners™ — a technique that removes a wide range of pollutants, from heavy hydrocarbons to mercury and chlorinated solvents, in all soil types. Its engineers are the inventors of the first mobile thermal systems and the award-winning Smart Burners™ for both in-situ and ex-situ thermal remediation, while recovering energy and contaminants.
Work on the project began on September 4, 2024. The joint venture expects completion by September 2027, with daily reports provided to the EPA for evaluation. Once the EPA deems the soil quality satisfactory, the site will begin to be decommissioned.
