Burlington, Mass., Jan. 10, 2025 — Haley & Aldrich will have an active presence at the 2025 Battelle Sediments Conference, with multiple sessions featuring our experts discussing such topics as offshore remediation, sustainability, emerging contaminants, and stormwater control measures.
The conference will take place January 27-30 in Tampa, Florida. Battelle describes it as “a forum for sharing research results, practical experiences, and innovative approaches to investigating, remediating, and restoring the environmental and economic vitality of waterways and aquatic systems.”
“We always look forward to this conference as a way to connect with colleagues and clients,” said Senior Technical Expert Sean Carroll, who oversees conference participation as a member of Haley & Aldrich’s national sediments leadership team.
Haley & Aldrich Principal Consultant Helder Costa, who serves on the 2025 Sediments Conference Technical Steering Committee, added, “This event is a valuable opportunity to share knowledge and learn how we can advance our services as remediation technologies evolve.”
