About Meridian

.... a trusted partner in resolving environmental, geologic and hydrogeologic challenges.

Meridian Environmental Co. (Meridian) was originally founded in 1998 and operated until 2007, then was reopened in 2014 to provide environmental, geologic and hydrogeologic services, along with construction management to our clients.  

 

Meridian was founded on precise evaluation, innovative solutions and client satisfaction.  Collaboration and communication are our tenants; without these fundamentals, we have seen that a project will likely encounter unnecessary challenges.  

 

With an 85% repeat client base, Meridian is constantly told that our responsiveness and willingness to "think outside the box" in resolving environmental, geologic and hydrogeologic challenges are key.

 

When Meridian is involved in a project, every project receives Principal involvement; accessibility of team members; a small team that ensures quick response time; a collaborative approach and broad experience.
