Environmental Commitment
Leadership in sustainability
At GCD | PDI, environmental stewardship is embedded in how we approach every project. We continually explore and apply advanced remediation techniques to improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of our excavation and cleanup processes. Many of the sites we work on involve significant volumes of debris—sometimes hazardous—and are often located in fragile or regulated environments. In situations where no precedent exists, we develop tailored strategies that prioritize environmental protection, reduce risk, and minimize our overall impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
Diverting waste from landfills
Our goal is to recycle between 95 and 99 percent of all worksite material. This environmental commitment reflects a deep sense of pride in doing what’s right for both the industry and the environment. We actively collaborate with consulting firms, government agencies, and developers to create comprehensive remediation and redevelopment programs, helping convert former industrial sites into safe, livable spaces such as residential communities and public parks.
