Decade 1 occurs from 1986 through 1995. During this time, QRI primarily provided environmental consulting services to remove impoundments and solve groundwater issues by performing Environmental Sequence Stratigraphy (ESS) utilizing technology that QRI developed and invented: HTAS™ (1986) & Pulser™ (1987). QRI also founded our Drilling Section in 1987 when Fonda Lindfors New became the first registered woman driller in the State of LA. QRI clients included Industrial (e.g., Texaco, Chevron, Dow, Ethyl, Gulf Power) and Commercial (e.g., Tetra Tech, Jacobs, Arcadis US, AECOM, WSP, TechLaw, Inc.).
