Solid and Hazardous Waste Management

From the mundane to the unthinkable, creativity is a hallmark of SynTerra projects. Our designs progress rapidly through the permitting process, are built without major changes and delays, and function effectively once completed. SynTerra's engineering expertise includes beneficial reuse and disposal of industrial solid waste, disposal of municipal waste, and management of hazardous waste. SynTerra consulting services have been integral in the successful management of residuals at many pulp and paper mills and in RCRA permitting, investigation and closure activities at two cement manufacturing plants in South Carolina.

Innovations in Solid Waste Management

Industrial solid waste management is a core market for SynTerra. More efficient, lower cost facilities and operations are the focus of our services for industrial clients.

These services include:
