Vertex Environmental’s Open House and Demonstration Day

Thanks to everyone who came out to Vertex Environmental’s Open House and first ever Demonstration Day held on October 22, 2021!

It was so nice to see everyone…in person!  The turnout was great, the food was great, and it sounded like everyone really enjoyed the demonstrations of the various technologies that can be used towards site remediation and risk management.

A big thanks to Strata Drilling Group for bringing out a Geoprobe drill rig to assist with our live High Resolution Site Characterization demo, and for also helping with the food costs so everyone could enjoy a free lunch!

Based upon positive feedback we hope to do the Demonstration Day again next year in the spring at a location closer to the GTA.  Stay tuned for more information on that upcoming event.

Here are some photos of the day to give you a feel for what it was all about.
