Terra is an environmental company comprised of four distinct divisions covering a wide range of services, including environmental remediation, industrial cleaning and transportation, asbestos and lead abatement, and sanitary and storm sewer maintenance. Each division brings specialized capabilities that can be easily integrated to provide a single source, cost effective solution to complex, multi-phase projects anywhere in the country.  Terra's environmental remediation division has developed particular expertise in the area of sediment removal and remediation on major river projects.

Terra takes great pride in the quality and safety of our work, which is guided by a unique management philosophy. This philosophy was tested and refined in the field for more than 50 years before becoming the six operating principles on which we base our decisions and actions. These principles are:

Integrity    Safety    Customer Focus    Intensity    Training    Teamwork

By dedicating ourselves to these principles, we give our clients extraordinary levels of quality and value. The principles are reinforced to all Terra personnel daily and are the basis of all operations.

Terra practices the Loss Prevention System (LPS), a behavior-based approach to safety focusing on the prevention of accidents. The purpose of LPS is to modify human behavior so that potential accidents can be identified before they take place. The simple objective is that no one gets hurt.

Because we apply our six principles to all projects, we tend to attract customers who appreciate and value exceptional performance and safety. These customers include engineering and consulting firms, private industry, utilities and government agencies. In the end, it is our deep commitment to our principles that sets us apart from everybody else in our industry.
