Why Reclamation and Environmental Construction? And what is Environmental Construction?

Reclamation is a term generally associated with “fixing” the land after it has been disturbed by activities such as road construction, mining or other similar activities.

Environmental Construction is a term that we have coined to describe how we use construction equipment and techniques to address existing physical conditions of the land to remedy, repair or prevent environmental degradation.

St. Cloud Reclamation returns disturbed lands and industrial sites to our Nation’s inventory of safe and sustainable assets. Whether in the private sector or public domain, the increasing corporate and public awareness, regulation, has heightened the need for lands to be restored as safe, accessible and useful natural resources.

We are all stewards of the land we work upon and are obligated for its responsible return and restoration. Nobody takes that obligation more seriously than St. Cloud Reclamation.
