EBJ Business Achiever of the Week: Abscope Environmental

Hats off this week to Abscope Environmental, Inc. (Syracuse, NY), winner of a 2010 silver medal for 40% growth with revenue increasing to nearly $23 million in 2010. A remediation construction firm with more than 20 years’ experience, Abscope’s employee count increased from 62 to 74 employees in 2010. A signature success for 2010 involved the company’s largest project to date—a $12 million remedial construction project at a former manufactured gas plant (MGP) site in Utica, New York. The effort featured the construction of a dredging containment cell at an accelerated three-month pace. The project required the installation of 2,000 linear feet of watertight steel sheet piles and off-site shipment and regulated disposal of 120,000 tons of contaminated material. Abscope also completed its first project involving the excavation and handling of radioactive soils (2,500 cubic yards), at a government-owned former nuclear testing facility. Abscope extended its geographic reach beyond its central New York base, performing remediation projects in Ohio, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C. totaling approximately $3 million in a variety of industry sectors, ranging from railroads to pharmaceuticals.For a full list of EBJ’s 2010 Business Achievement Award winners, please visit www.ebiresearch.com/2010_EBI_%20Awards.
