ABOUT EARTHTECH
The promise of better tomorrow
Every day, in every corner of the world, thousands of Earth Tech architects, engineers, scientists, builders, researchers, technology specialists, and consultants deal with promises – the promises that clients make to customers, employees and local communities through their infrastructure projects.
For more than three decades, Earth Tech has played a vital role in helping clients keep their promises. Earth Tech employees represent a commitment to standards of excellence and integrity, and we bring to every project the promise of effective operating practices. Today there is virtually no challenge in the built and natural environments that we aren’t prepared to design, build, upgrade, operate and, in some instances, finance.
Effective water management. Improved air and land quality. Safer and more efficient facilities. Transportation systems that meet today’s demands and anticipate tomorrow’s needs. These are just some of the promises we can help bring to life. As long as companies, institutions and government agencies make promises, Earth Tech will help fulfill them. And that’s a commitment we take very seriously.
Our History
When Earth Tech was founded in 1970, its primary focus was geotechnical engineering. Beginning in the 1980’s, in response to evolving environmental laws, the company’s services expanded to include the environmental services market. Entering the 1990s, Earth Tech was recognized as one of the leading providers of environmental, earth sciences, and waste management consulting.
As Earth Tech focused on expansion, a number of highly specialized and well-regarded engineering, construction and environmental firms were brought together. These acquired companies have added important technical capabilities and strengthen existing ones, including engineering, remediation, construction, contract operations and management, air quality management, water and wastewater engineering, solid waste management and transportation and infrastructure engineering.
Recognizing the potential for serving an even broader global market, Earth Tech was acquired by Tyco International Ltd. in 1996.
Today, Earth Tech is one company of 8500 people around the world, backed by the resources of Tyco. But, throughout our history, one trait has remained consistent: our unwavering focus on providing vital solutions to meet our clients changing needs
