HIES has vast experience in Fuel Systems environmental management acting as liaison between service station owners and regulatory agencies such as the Department of Health and the EPA. With over 1000 UST closure experiences at various complex sites in Hawaii and the Pacific Rim, the company has expert knowledge of local geological and regulatory conditions throughout the region saving clients valuable time and money. Whether a clean/complex characterization or remedial action site, our in-depth site characterization expertise with innovative current solutions have regularly allowed clients to obtain site closures, no further action responses, or no further remediation determinations expeditiously.

Our company is also experienced with maintenance and monitoring as we at HIES have cleaned some of the largest US Department of Defense Facilities [US DoD]. Including a fuel tank in the Pacific specifically located in Sasebo, Japan as one of its numerous maintenance projects and has monitored large subsurface fuel plumes for the US DoD. Whether a small service station or a large fuel operations facility, HIES has the full service solution. Facilities that benefit from our services may include:


Commercial & industrial establishments

  Service stations

  Fuels terminals
