INQUIP Associates, Inc., a speciality geotechnical
contractor, traces its roots back to the beginning of the slurry trench
technology in 1950 on the Terminal Island Project. This was the first trench
ever excavated under bentonite slurry for an industrial application. The
company was founded in 1977 to continue and further develop the activity
of the groundwater control division of Industrial Engineering and Equipment
Corporation, founded by Mr. Charles H. Toll, one of the pioneers in the
development of the slurry trench method. Mr. Toll was instrumental in the
promotion and construction of economical underground seepage barriers,
including the Terminal Island Project.
INQUIP's main
activity from its creation to the early eighties was related to the installation
of soil-bentonite cutoff barriers and liners. In order to utilize the wide
experience of its management team and to be able to satisfy more efficiently
the needs of its clients, INQUIP expanded its product line to other geotechnical
techniques. This carefully controlled growth process is expected to continue
in the future. Many of the speciality techniques offered by INQUIP have
applications for the control and mitigation of pollution associated with
landfills and waste management facilities.
INQUIP offers
capabilities for the installation of:
All types of underground seepage barriers
Cast-in-place or precast slurry walls for support of excavations
Deep soil mixing
Leachate collection systems
Liners
Pressure and jet grouting
INQUIP has
experience with federal and state regulations governing health and safety
for remediation work on the hazardous and toxic sites.
INQUIP's major
goal is to provide excellent service to its clients and to maintain a high
level of quality construction. Only qualified, technically capable field
managers oversee site construction. The company management strongly believes
that close understanding and cooperation with the owner and the engineer
are essential in resolving technical difficulties and achieving high performance.
Inquip looks forward to working closely with its clients for the successful
completion of their projects.
