Based out of Louisville, KY, Hughes Environmental has grown quickly since its beginning from a local commercial duct cleaning company into a national level industrial cleaning contractor. This move comes right after the company celebrated its 10 year anniversary in business. The staff and operations have expanded to a point where more space was necessary to accommodate for current and future growth.
The company is moving from their location on Pinewood Rd to a newly remodeled location at 908 South 8th Street, Suite 500, Louisville, KY 40203. The building was renovated by Lichtefeld Inc., a family owned general contractor for commercial and industrial buildings in the Louisville area.
The company grew from just duct cleaning when OSHA began investigating industrial explosions caused by combustible dust. During the inspections the U.S. Chemical Safety Board found almost 300 incidents of combustible dust between 1980 and 2005, which caused the deaths of 119 workers, over 700 injuries, and millions in damages. OSHA and the NFPA have both made combustible dust remediation a priority, and Hughes Environmental is committed to helping companies provide a safer work environment by eliminating dust hazards and providing education on the dangers it creates.
