Energy Resources, Inc., founded in 1984 by Paul Reinhardt, started as a coal recovery company but shifted focus to contract dredging in 1988 due to changing energy market dynamics. Headquartered in Chesterfield, Missouri, the company has built a reputation for excellence in dredging services across the United States, especially in residential lakes, canals, and commercial clean-up. With a family-oriented ethos, Nadine Reinhardt took over operations after buying out investors in 2011, with her son Michael joining the company as Lead Engineer in 2017.
The company's expertise in innovative dredging techniques, such as gravity and sizing separation, has been instrumental in successfully completing over 30 lake projects and numerous canal projects since its first in 1990 for the City of Naples, Florida. Energy Resources is known for its portability, as all dredging equipment can be transported via a single truck, thus reducing mobilization costs for clients.
Understanding the evolving environmental landscape, the company has developed proprietary methods to manage sediment disposal, employing geotextile tubes and polymer injection to capture sediments and return clarified water to the dredging area. Their commitment to environmental responsibility is further demonstrated by their ability to dewater and transport various materials like scrubber sludge and fly ash to certified landfills, maintaining compliance with stringent local, state, and federal regulations.
Energy Resources, Inc. also offers permitting and engineering services, ensuring that projects meet regulatory requirements with ease. The company prides itself on its dedicated workforce and long-term relationships with clients, many of whom have relied on their services for nearly three decades.
