About Us

Not your grandfather’s thermal. Iron Creek Group is an award-winning soil remediation company, with innovative thermal technology proven to clean up oil fields, restore soils contaminated with creosote and explosives, assist in refinery tank and process waste treatment removal, and safely eliminate 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 technology can be operational within days. Treatment applications remove liability, delist and eliminate waste to effectively restore the environment and protect human health and safety.
