Company Profile for Locus Technologies.

Business Editors

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

Locus Technologies specializes in providing comprehensive consulting, design, and construction services for the remediation of sites contaminated by hazardous wastes. Locus also provides environmental data management that supports our more traditional consulting activities, which has formed the cornerstone of our Information Management Group, who are bringing our Internet technologies to a whole new level.

Locus's philosophy is to integrate both design and construction into a centralized project management approach. This centralization reduces the time and costs required to complete a project and relieves the client of the responsibility of coordinating the efforts of independent consultants, engineers, and contractors. Our personnel have performed work at sites nationwide, including National Priority List (NPL) sites.

Locus's centralized philosophy, multiple technology capabilities, and extensive on-site construction experience provide us with flexibility and enable us to adjust to varying project requirements. Locus is unique in the remediation industry in its ability to provide effective, flexible, and comprehensive service to its clients to furnish permanent solutions to their environmental concerns, rather than endless studies. Our main focus is to lower the overall environmental liability and remediation cost of our client's sites.

Locus was the first to bring the power of the Internet to the environmental industry and realize its potential application to all aspects of our business. In fact, we have built all our business around the Internet platform. From document management, to data management, scheduling, and cost control to sophisticated applications such as control and automation of environmental treatment systems, all environmental system functions are done via the Internet. Not only does this approach reduce costs, it makes information instantly available to all appropriate team personnel.

The LocusFocus(SM) environmental portal is rapidly evolving to meet the changing requirements of our customers, and collaboration and knowledge management have become essential for sites that have multiple PRPs. By integrating collaborative applications into LocusFocus, we are able to deploy comprehensive solutions that enable and foster collaboration and coordination across customers, employees, and regulators.

The LocusFocus suite of e-business services and technologies includes systems for: (1) operating and controlling groundwater treatment and recovery facilities from a web-based browser; (2) managing environmental data; (3) uploading field data into, and retrieving such data from a centralized database using hand-held, wireless devices; (4) storing and retrieving project documents; and (5) collaborating on-line. These Internet-based applications, all of which are accessible from a single web portal, provide secure, universally accessible services to the environmental industry, resulting in improved work flows, better decision-making and, ultimately, higher quality project management and delivery at a lower cost.
