About Us

Not your grandfather’s thermal. Iron Creek Group is an award-winning soil remediation company, with innovative thermal technology that is proven to cleanup oil fields, restore soils contaminated with creosote and explosives, assist in refinery tank and process waste treatment removal, and safely eliminate 99.99% of PFAS chemicals utilizing a time-tested approach.

Our process predictably eliminates contaminants resulting in zero reject— other systems leave 15% to 30% reject; waste that needs to be trucked to a landfill. No matter the time of year, temperature or moisture levels, our team can be onsite and operational within days. Treatment applications remove liability, delist and eliminate waste to effectively restore the environment and protect human health and safety.

Safety is Our Number One Priority

Our process is designed to meet the most rigorous regulatory standards because we understand the biggest liability to site remediation is human health and safety. Our stringent protocols protect human and environmental health, and ensure an incident-free job site. 


Even our technology is designed with safety in mind. For example, our remediation process is static— there are no moving parts. Contaminated soil stays in place, removing the liability associated with loading and trucking materials off site.
