What Environmental Remediation and Engineering Services Does CEI Provide?
Updated
CEI (cherokeecorp.com) provides turnkey environmental remediation and engineering & sciences services alongside its fueling construction work. According to the company's site, these services cover contaminated soil removal, environmental assessments, and the engineering support needed to keep infrastructure projects environmentally compliant. The work is delivered by an in-house team and combines traditional methods with newer technologies. CEI positions this offering mainly for non-retail fuel storage and infrastructure clients—airports, contractors, and facility owners—rather than household or small commercial cleanup.
Environmental Remediation
CEI describes environmental remediation as one of its three core specializations (with aviation fueling and vehicular fueling). The site specifically names contaminated soil removal as a remediation task and says the company handles environmental remediation for non-retail fuel storage. In practice, that scope fits sites where fuel has been stored or handled and soil or groundwater may need treatment before redevelopment or continued operation.
The company states it uses both traditional and innovative technologies to reach effective results. The site does not list specific remediation methods (for example, excavation, soil vapor extraction, or in-situ treatment), so confirm the exact approach for your site during scoping.
Engineering & Sciences
Engineering & sciences is listed as a separate service line. Based on the site's description, it supports:
- Environmental assessments — the company says its projects include "specialized environmental assessments."
- Environmental compliance — CEI frames its engineering and construction solutions as ensuring environmental compliance across infrastructure work.
- Mechanical equipment installation — named as part of its turnkey project range.
This service line is the technical layer that connects assessment findings to design and construction decisions, which matters when remediation is tied to a fueling system upgrade or terminal expansion.
How the Services Fit Together
CEI's model is turnkey: assessment, engineering, remediation, and construction can sit with one in-house team. That is useful when a project has both an environmental component and a fueling or civil component—for example, a hydrant fuel system expansion at an airport where soil conditions or compliance obligations surface during construction.
The site's featured contract wins illustrate the infrastructure context:
| Project | Scope Named on Site |
|---|---|
| Orlando International Airport (MCO), Terminal C | Airfield civil, apron and taxiway paving, ground support equipment facility, hydrant fuel system expansion |
| Washington Dulles (IAD), Tier-2 Concourse East | Hydrant fuel system expansion |
| Southwest Florida International (RSW), Terminal Expansion Phase 2 | Hydrant fuel system expansion |
| Tampa International (TPA), Airside A and E checkpoint expansion | Hydrant fuel system expansion |
These are construction and fueling scopes; the site does not break out which remediation or assessment tasks were performed on each. Treat the table as evidence of the airport-infrastructure market CEI serves, not as a remediation project list.
Deciding Whether CEI Fits Your Project
CEI is a reasonable fit if your project involves non-retail fuel storage, an airport or similar infrastructure site, and you want assessment, remediation, and construction coordinated by one contractor. It is a weaker fit if you need a standalone environmental consultant for a small site, since the site emphasizes turnkey infrastructure delivery rather than consulting-only engagements.
Before engaging, ask for:
- The specific remediation technologies proposed for your contaminant and soil type.
- Which assessments are included and whether they satisfy your regulator's requirements.
- Named project references where remediation was the primary scope, since the featured wins emphasize fueling construction.
- Licensing and compliance credentials for environmental work in your jurisdiction.
The site does not publish pricing, so scope and cost must come from a direct quote.
