For our insurance carrier clients and their policyholders, Roux Associates has “taken-over” remediation projects where either remediation costs have spun out of control or where previously submitted remediation plans have been rejected by environmental regulators. Because we have a long-term relationship with our carrier clients, we have an incentive to deliver quality, cost effective service that meets the insured’s obligations.
Since 2001, we have assumed project control and engineering responsibility for hundreds of environmental remediation projects that were first brought to our attention by insurance carriers. These sites have ranged from small releases associated with unregulated heating oil tanks to gas stations to landfill caps. In each case, both the insured and the carrier agreed that Roux Associates was the appropriate consulting firm to manage the project in a cost-effective manner that meets both their needs.
All our environmental consulting work, whether for a major oil company or a Mom-and-Pop dry cleaner or an insurance carrier, is focused one on goal: Obtain regulatory closure for the site as quickly and cost effectively as possible. As a result of this thinking, hundreds of 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.
