green technologies and electrification.“We’re seeing a big push, an uptick in mining,” he says, noting the increased demand for precious minerals and uranium, which are essential for supporting nuclear energy and advanced technologies. “If you want to build mines, you need power. So, there’s a lot of push on power and electrification, and green technology is always at play with investors as well.” Along with this, he acknowledges the ongoing need for natural gas, specifically as the demand for LNG continues to increase. “And then there will always be a big push for transportation and growing infrastructure,” Emerson portrays. Olenick mentions the interconnectedness of industries, detailing how shifts in energy and electrification trends are driving demand for mining. “We might be seeing a gradual decline, eventually, in the energy side,” he explains. “But alongside the electrification trend and the potential shift toward nuclear power, the mining sector becomes all that more important, whether it be uranium exports for power or getting into those rare earth minerals and lithium for the batteries and technology you’re going to need going forward.” In addition to mining and power, Emerson identifies growing opportunities in infrastructure maintenance and contaminated site services.“As they build more and more pipelines, roads, and transmission lines, the volume of maintenance services and operational services to keep all this infrastructure intact also provides a lot of business for us, with repeat relationships with clients,” he relays. BUILDING TRUST AND RELATIONSHIPS At Triton, cultivating and maintaining strong client relationships is at the heart of the company’s success. “A lot of our business falls into that top 10-20 clients that stem from long-term relationships,” Emerson depicts, sharing that while there are occasional oneoff projects, the majority of Triton’s work is repeat business with trusted clients, adapting to meet their evolving needs. Echoing Emerson’s views, Olenick remarks on the collaborative nature of Triton’s work.“In our industry, we actually get very few transactional projects because of the types of services that we offer,” he states. “We’re providing pragmatic solutions for our clients. It moves us to build that relationship of trust where we are presenting our proposals and our solutions for their projects, that in the end, our most successful projects are based on our most successful relationships.” TRITON ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS
