Founded on commitment to employees and clients, we have advanced purposefully in environmental science, engineering, technology, and regulatory
Compliance. Since our founding in 1984, Trihydro has grown into a team of more than 600 professionals, with offices spanning the country – including Salt Lake City. Our success stems from a shared commitment to safety, quality, and responsiveness—principles that guided us from the beginning and continue to shape how we work today.
