Mostafa El Sehamy opened Hydro Tech Environmental approximately 10 years ago with the philosophy that every environmental problem is unique and deserves its own innovative, affordable solution. This philosophy was developed from over 30 years of experience in the environmental industry. Hydro Tech is a forward-thinking, integrated environmental firm with offices in Commack and Brooklyn, New York. Hydro Tech provides high quality environmental and geotechnical consulting and contracting services including Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, air quality inspections, geotechnical borings and reports, and soil and groundwater remediation. Hydro Tech has a wide variety of clients including property developers, owners and purchasers, mortgage holders of real estate, insurance companies and local and state municipalities including the New York City School Authority and the New York City Department of Design and Construction. When you first meet El Sehamy you can understand why his close friends, clients and colleagues refer to him as "Moose." He has a strong, but kind, outgoing personality that attracts clients and motivates his staff. It is not uncommon for an environmental attorney, bank administrator or regulator to call El Sehamy for his opinion of an environmental situation. Using his vast experiences as a regulator for the Nassau County Department of Health, a field geologist, a contractor, an expert witness for the State of New York and a business owner he has created a unique library of knowledge that is appreciated and utilized by the environmental field throughout the tri-state area. El Sehamy's knowledge is supported by his Geological Engineering degree from Cairo University, his master's degree in Hydrogeology from Adelphi University and his vast array of geological certificates including Certified Professional Geology (CPG) licenses from the American Institute of Professional Geologists and several states such as North Carolina and Pennsylvania. El Sehamy is also a Certified Groundwater Professional with the Association of Groundwater Scientists and Engineers and a Certified OSHA instructor. When many larger environmental firms are closing down or reducing their work force, Hydro Tech is expanding. El Sehamy believes that this can be attributed to, "Integrity and honesty to our customers and employees." He also believes, that "You have to remain progressive and innovative, try to stay one step ahead of the economic downturn and always think what's next, what could possibly catch us by surprise?" Hydro Tech currently provides both contracting and consulting services under the same roof which enables Hydro Tech to perform field work in an expedited more cost effective manner. Its environmental contracting division maintains a fleet of over 5 diverse Geoprobes® and environmental remediation equipment. Hydro Tech also remains in the forefront of the regulatory world. Hydro Tech is now completing a Track 1 New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Brownfield project and is looking forward to entering three projects into the new NYC Office of Environmental Remediation Local Brownfield Program. El Sehamy also attributes Hydro Tech's success to his partner Mark Robbins, CPG, CEI and Hydro Tech's diversified team of geologists, hydrogeologists, engineers and drillers. Together Robbins and El Sehamy assure that all projects are performed to the greatest industry standard and can be relied upon by the client, mortgage holder, regulatory agencies and any future property owners. The Hydro Tech staff is proud to boast that this year alone it has completed over 250 environmental projects including the installation of a depressurization system at a strip mall in Long Island, the installation of a vapor extraction/air sparge system at a former gasoline station in Brooklyn, the successful remediation of several NYSDEC Spill sites using chemical/biological injections and the performance of several projects for the Little "E" designation program. El Sehamy has led Hydro Tech Environmental with his strong personality, education, and experience to become a full service integrated environmental firm. Through Hydro Tech's growth El Sehamy has never lost site of his original goals of providing innovative, personal and affordable environmental services.
