Triumvirate Environmental President & CEO John McQuillan was recently quoted in Inc Magazine's article 'How to Handle a Spike in Sales.'
The article focuses on the recent rejuvenation of the market, and looks to business owners who are experiencing an uptake in sales to comment on their return to success.
John is quoted:
"An abrupt restarting of the machine carries with it some friction," he says. His answer? Salespeople are compensated in part on customer satisfaction scores. Operational decisions are also based on those scores. That bond helps to eliminate tensions. In addition, the company holds twice-a-year retreats for operations and sales managers and staff. The most recent conclave in May took on renewed importance as the company hustled to meet the new demand.

As originally posted on umass.edu:
Caulk containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been 
found in various areas of the Southwest Concourse as construction crews worked on a concourse replacement project in the student residential area. Remediation steps to protect public health and safety are under way, and construction is continuing as part of a revised plan that isolates affected areas and protects workers and the public.
Donald Robinson, director of Environmental Health and Safety, said, “We are coordinating with the state Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to address the issue and create a permanent remediation plan. We have retained the services of Woodward and Curran, an environmental consulting firm, and Triumvirate Environmental, a full-service environmental firm, to assist in managing PCB testing and remediation planning. As a result, we expect to reopen Southwest, as planned, for the fall semester.”
Robinson said caulk containing PCBs was discovered in between patio blocks, along some retaining walls, between granite steps, on expansion joints of concrete curbs, expansion joints in the concourse tunnel and caulking where concrete meets buildings. The PCBs have migrated into some adjacent soils, concrete, asphalt and granite, which will be removed or cleaned.
When Southwest was constructed in 1966, PCBs were contained in a number of products, including use as an additive to improve the elasticity of caulking materials. The chemical compound was subsequently banned in 1976. Other university buildings were constructed when PCB use was common, and Robinson noted that the University has experience successfully managing remediation projects in the Lederle Graduate Research Center and the W.E.B. DuBois Library.
The Southwest Concourse replacement project is a comprehensive revitalization of the pedestrian core of the student residential complex that replaces multiple underground utilities. In the landscape portion of the project, water, topography and native plantings, emphasizing sustainability, are key elements designed to transform the site, reducing the presence of asphalt and concrete. Facilities Planning expects Southwest to reopen for the fall semester, although the landscaping overhaul may not be finished until next spring.

Triumvirate Environmental was presented with the prestigious 2010
"Leading Edge" Award by the
Cambridge Chamber of Commerce. This esteemed award "recognizes a business that demonstrates leadership and innovation in the technology or biotechnology industries and is dedicated to product/process development to enhance and enrich people's lives."
Within the past year, Triumvirate has developed numerous groundbreaking products and services that have transformed the environmental professional services marketplace. Specific to Triumvirate's Life Sciences industry, Project Jumpstart was implemented to help clients achieve compliance within 60 days.
Last summer, Triumvirate released their very popular Online DOT Training program. Triumvirate noticed that other online trainings lacked entertainment value, and with the assistance of our top trainer, Doug Graham, Triumvirate produced a creative, convenient, and humorous way to learn and retain DOT material. The follow up companion, Online IATA Training will be available this September.
Another innovative product that Triumvirate has created specifically for its clients is the ADVISE (Analytics Developed For Visionaries In Safety & Environment) system. Triumvirate Environmental designed our ADVISE system to cater to the environmental compliance and safety needs of our clients. Users may search for data within ADVISE, including but not limited to, manifests and manifest contents, profiles and profile contents, inspections, inventory items, sites and buildings.
Triumvirate Environmental plans to continue raising the bar for what is to be expected from an environmental professional services firm through the development of innovative initiatives in the technology and biotechnology industries.
