A quality client contracted ReRem Equipment to perform a series of sparge & vent tests at an industrial facility; easy. One of the stakeholders insisted that we (nearly) quadruple our coverage; not so easy. The policy was quoted and pre-pay was required; not so easy.
Modifying the proposal to reflect the cost was not accepted, pre-pay for the binder was not possible.
Our safety record is impeccable, our training is current
and our insurance is strong; we declined the work.
The insurance thing..
June 15th, 2010Travel, far & wide
May 11th, 2010We are (increasingly) fielding requests for pilot-test services across the eastern US, with this conversation comes the request for discounted mob and/or on-site time. While we appreciate the work from diverse clients my response is the same; three (3) consecutive days will earn you a discount mob/demob, site-time is fixed.
ReRem has entered service agreements with several large environmental engineering firms to reduce the on-site unit costs for a fixed quantity of annual work. We welcome these opportunities.
Carbon Conservation
April 15th, 2010A local pump & tank contractor teamed up with a reputable environmental consultant for a large(r) dewatering and processing contract. Process flows of 50 GPM and high VOC’s meant 600# of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) per day, plus the labor. You do the math.
We suggested air stripping prior to GAC, with a calculated efficiency of 95%; ie. the carbon will last 20X longer. The reduced material & labor costs have MORE THAN paid for the rental / permitting / oversight / sampling for the project.
The client (as of this date) is please as more than 200,000 gallons have been pumped in April and no GAC changeouts have been required (based on samples from the primary GAC).
The tank-crew is pleased since the job is proceeding; the consultant is pleased as the on-site services are cleaner and more profitable; ReRem is pleased to add value and reason to the job.
