TransAsh

Most construction firms build things up. TransAsh specializes in what happens when it’s time to close something down, and doing it right.

TransAsh is the leader in total CCR management, civil construction, and environmental compliance, serving utilities and power generation facilities across the country from their Cincinnati headquarters. CCR, Coal Combustion Residuals, is the ash, slag, and byproduct left over from coal-fired power plants. Managing it responsibly is one of the most technically demanding and environmentally consequential challenges in the utility industry. TransAsh has built an entire company around doing exactly that.

Their services span the full lifecycle of CCR management: basin closure, landfill closure, landfill construction, landfill management, dredging, plant support, and grounds maintenance. They work directly with federal, state, and local regulators to navigate permitting, apply EPA-approved covers and fills, and ensure that every closed facility meets the highest standards for environmental protection. When the job is done, the surrounding community is safer for it.

Behind that work is a fleet of more than 1,000 pieces of heavy-duty specialized equipment, a dedicated Quality Division built on a no-excuses standard, and a safety culture that targets a zero-accident rate, not as an aspiration but as an expectation. TransAsh also operates Trans Ash University, an internal training program that reflects how seriously they invest in the people doing the work.

Now a NorthStar Company, TransAsh brings institutional capability to a highly specialized field while maintaining the operational focus and accountability that earned their reputation.
