A Partner with Passion

All of us at COLUMBIA Technologies bring to every customer need and site an unequaled passion and dedication to delivering smart, complete and high quality solutions that assure the best possible business outcomes. Guided by the watchwords Think and Restore, COLUMBIA Technologies is committed to Partnering for Smarter Sustainable Solutions.

How We Do It: Roadmap to Monetization

A key element of the COLUMBIA Technologies Way is aligning previous history and future objectives with the data-supported current state. So for every site, we begin by learning your monetization goals, as well as investments you have already made.

Working closely with your business and engineering leadership, we develop a very specific joint scope of work (SOW), focused on achieving environmentally responsible results. This asset-specific roadmap to monetization addresses timeframes, investment criteria and the human and technology resources available to meet your goals. Plus, it provides the framework in which we can become your trusted partner in formulating smarter sustainable solutions.

GLOBAL OPERATIONS

As large companies, already global in scale, establish operations in more and more countries, they increase their likelihood of becoming responsible for management and remediation of environmentally contaminated real estate. Businesses confronting that challenge need a collaborative partner with proven experience in applying science, technology, data best practices and engineering to achieve the best, most sustainable outcome.

At COLUMBIA Technologies, our solutions are tailor-made for helping global corporations reduce the risk, uncertainty and costs of contaminated land cleanup and restoration. Our knowledgeable and highly adaptable global direct sensing team has successfully performed more than 1,500 high-resolution site evaluations worldwide. Moreover, with our international footprint now spanning four continents —with projects complete or underway in Italy, Japan, Australia, Canada, Mexico and Brazil — we can assist customers nearly anywhere in the world.

We’re ready to do whatever it takes to best serve our customers, wherever they are. In Brazil, for example, we have established our wholly-owned subsidiary company, COLUMBIA Technologies do Brasil Ltda in partnership with ARAGON Perfuracoes e Sondagens of Sao Paulo. In Mexico, we partner with International Products & Organic Solutions (IPOS) of Mexico City, to perform complex environmental site investigations for industrial companies and manufacturers. These successful partnership are representative of our global collaborations with qualified service providers in our customers’ countries.

Our award-winning SmartData Solutions® real-time, cloud-based platform provides for the quality assurance and cost-effective collaboration for technical teams across multiple continents. In fact, in today’s increasingly connected world, the only way we at COLUMBIA Technologies can advance the adoption of sustainable practices on a global scale is through collaboration and the sharing of expertise to serve international corporations wherever they are, transfer technology to local providers and improve economic conditions with environmentally sound solutions.
