We’ve supported more than 20 national and regional insurance carriers in their efforts to fairly evaluate costs and liabilities for environmental investigations and remediation projects. Roux Associates is highly qualified to help insurers evaluate environmental costs because we perform environmental investigations and clean-ups for both Fortune 100 clients and “Main Street USA” clients.  Our projects range from cleaning-up groundwater at major oil refineries and chemical plants and capping Superfund sites to remediating soil and groundwater at local dry cleaners and gas stations.  We use the experience and knowledge we gain from competitively bidding these projects to fully understand the cost implications associated with an environmental insurance claim.

Our on-going work at contaminated properties throughout the U.S. and internationally also provides us with valuable, front-line knowledge regarding clean-up trends and technologies.  Roux Associates prides itself on being the firm that major multi-national corporations hire to solve their most challenging environmental problems.  We use these same skills to help identify cost effective “outside-the-box” environmental strategies that can help both our insurance clients and their policyholders. All our environmental consulting work, whether for a major oil company, Mom-and-Pop dry cleaner or an insurance carrier, is focused on one goal:  Obtain regulatory closure for the site as quickly and cost effectively as possible. 

As a result of this thinking, more than 25 policyholders have hired Roux Associates as their own consultant after we reviewed data submitted as part of a claim.  These policyholders, as well as their insurance carriers, recognized our services as cutting-edge, fair, and focused on resolving their environmental liabilities as cost-effectively as possible.
