Achieving and maintaining compliance with local, state and federal regulations can be an arduous process.  It’s important for facility managers to remember that parking lot runoff, parts cleaning processes, outdoor storage of raw materials, manufacturing scrap and  rejects, painting/printing/adhesive processes, chemicals used in manufacturing, vent hoods and booths, secondary containment and spill prevention systems are all subject to regulation.

For ASTI Environmental the renaissance in Detroit started in 1985 with our first project in the city, or rather under the city, in the Crystal Mines. Soon we completed our first Brownfield project for the former Stroh Headquarters on the Detroit River at Jos Campau. After successfully completing over 1,500 projects in the City, we are now expanding on that heritage by opening an office in the other former Stroh Brewing Company Headquarters, now known as the Grand Park Centre building.
