Expands Mid-Atlantic Presence

WILMINGTON, DE / ACCESS Newswire / November 17, 2025 / Terraphase Engineering, Inc., a national, full-service environmental consulting firm, announced today its strategic acquisition of BrightFields, Inc., an award-winning environmental consulting and remediation firm headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, with additional offices in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

This acquisition expands Terraphase's Mid-Atlantic presence and adds significant Delaware Hazardous Substances Cleanup Act and remediation expertise, as well as expertise in sediment remediation, water supply work, environmental demolition, and asbestos and lead management.

This structure enables seamless integration. BrightFields' Delaware office will serve as a regional hub.

"This merger is more than a business transaction-it's a partnership built on shared values and a vision for sustainable environmental stewardship," said Marian Young, President, of BrightFields. "We look forward to collaborating with the Terraphase team to expand our impact and continue serving our clients with integrity and innovation."
