In May of 1994, Geoscience Consultants, Ltd., opened their Midland, Texas
office by hiring Dale Littlejohn and Gilbert Van Deventer. Geoscience
Consultants, at that time, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of BDM International, which included
approximately 70 employees with offices located in Albuquerque, NM, Bartlesville OK, Los Cruces NM, Redlands CA, and the Washington DC
area.
|
| In January of 1997 BDM International reorganized Geoscience
Consultants into it's existing 9,000-employee structure and formally changed the
names of all the industry-focused environmental consultant offices, which
continued to serve the petroleum industry clients in the Southwestern United
States. |

In January of 1999, BDM International was
acquired by TRW, Inc., an international technology, manufacturing, and
service company, which employed approximately 100,000 people worldwide
in the environmental, energy, space, defense, automotive, and
information systems markets. The Midland, Texas office was
retained to support the local petroleum industry, although most of
the other former BDM environmental offices were closed. |
| Following the non-renewal of a large government environmental contract at Yucca Mountain, Nevada in 2000, the management of TRW, Inc. decided to discontinue all government and private industry environmental consulting services. The professional staff of the Midland, Texas office (Dale Littlejohn and Gilbert Van Deventer) acquired the assets of the TRW Midland office and on March 1, 2001 Trident Environmental was born. |
