We collaborate with our clients to design tangible solutions that provide real, quantifiable results and ongoing benefits—long after a project’s completion. Partnership with the Foundry Industry TRC has a unique partnership with the Foundry Industry. Many of our engineers and scientists came from various foundry industries or have conducted industry‐sponsored research, so they have an in‐ depth understanding of industry issues. In addition, our staff continues to stay involved with the industry and share environmental information through trade associations, special research projects, and presentations. Our knowledge of the challenges associated with hazardous waste management led TRC to develop proprietary processes to treat wastes containing metals that render the wastes nonhazardous. Companies that use this technology have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in hazardous waste treatment and disposal costs. TRC’s knowledge of residuals generated by the Foundry Industry and how they act in the environment has encouraged the beneficial reuse of these materials that, in the past, have been destined for land disposal. TRC assisted industry trade groups on the state level to advocate beneficial reuse regulations in a number of states. As a result of these regulations, the Foundry Industry has been able to save millions of dollars by constructively reusing their by‐products in a manner that is also environmentally sound. Many tons of materials that normally would be filling our precious landfill space have thus been put to good use, which also minimizes the need for scarce natural resources. As TRC has grown, so have many of our clients. To assist our clients with plant expansions, plant upgrades, or process changes, TRC features a diverse group of civil, electrical, mechanical, and process engineers. Our engineering staff can handle an entire project, from design and testing to construction and startup.

As partners with our clients, we can avoid some of the environmental pitfalls that have historically plagued the industry.
