History

Roux Associates was founded in 1981 in New York by Paul Roux as a groundwater contamination investigation practice. The first projects the firm undertook included groundwater investigations at the Industri-Plex 128 Superfund site in Woburn, Massachusetts; the Dayton, New Jersey pesticide plant ECRA site; and the Delaware City PVC plant Superfund site. Other early projects included extensive studies of the impact of agricultural pesticide application on groundwater and surface water resources in 25 states, and investigations of contamination from leaking underground storage tanks at gasoline service stations in the northeast and California.

Through the 1990's, Roux Associates expanded to offices in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia, Texas, Colorado, and California. The scope of environmental services provided by the firm also expanded to include engineering design, construction management, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, and expert witness services. During this period, the size of the firm increased rapidly and Roux Associates was twice named as one of America's 500 fastest-growing private companies by Inc. Magazine. From 1996 to the present, Roux Associates has been listed as one of the Top 200 Environmental Consulting Firms by Engineering News Record.

From the late 1990's to the present, Roux Associates has focused on developing cost saving, innovative solutions to complex environmental contamination problems. The firm has pioneered Engineered Natural Systems technologies, including a patented Constructed Wetland design and other award winning innovative remedial technologies. These technologies are utilized by Alcoa, BASF, ExxonMobil and other major corporations. In addition, Roux Associates handles complex indoor and outdoor air contamination issues and has an extensive litigation support and expert witness practice.

In 2005, Roux Associates acquired DOMANI, LLC, a Denver based firm which provides sustainability services in the areas of energy efficiency, green building, carbon trading and corporate branding. In addition to Denver, Domani has offices in Chicago and New York City.
