What Our Customers Say

I must say everyone at DTEC that I have worked with has done what they said they would do in a prompt and professional manner. The office and field personal are courteous, respectful and communicate well to complete any and all installation needed. Completely recommend this company to anyone.

Eric Eggar – Murray and Stafford, LLC

DTEC was referred to me a few years ago after years of headaches from other Stormwater Management Companies. I decided to use DTEC on one of my projects and was happy the way the team communicated and got the job done correct the first time. I now use DTEC on all of my jobs, as they have become a valued partner for our company.

Kurt Jones, Development Manager – Starwood Land Advisors

As Bear Excavating has grown it has become harder and harder for us to install and maintain erosion control measures on jobsite after jobsite. Everyone at DTEC have always gone above and beyond to get estimates out, meet for pre-cons, install everything properly in a timely manner, and work through any issues with inspectors (at the city, county and state level). I am very grateful for the work DTEC has done for Bear Excavating in the past and look forward to working closely with them in the future.”

Tyler Caesar, Field Manger – Bear Excavating

Weather changes fast in Colorado and that means your site can get out of compliance fast. DTEC is responsive and always comes through for us on our erosion control and maintenance needs.

Richard McDonald, PCMP, LEED AP, Senior Project Manager – Wood Partners

As a commercial general contractor, we’ve been using DTEC to handle our stormwater challenges for numerous years and have always been very satisfied with their performance. They do an excellent job providing us with multiple services and are punctual, professional and easy to work with. Their consistently willing to take the time to discuss my concerns small or large, and continually do exactly what we ask of them. I’m happy to recommend the services of DTEC!

Gerard Hernandez, Project Superintendent – Alcorn Construction Inc.

We have called on them for emergency-related activities with as little as 12 hours’ notice and they were able to provide the equipment and manpower necessary to bring us back into compliance the very next day.

Scott Zimmerman, Senior Project Engineer – Merrick & Company

DTEC is a key asset and partner in helping us with our risk management as it relates to stormwater issues. They are highly responsive to our needs which can, and often do, emerge at a moment’s notice.

Dave Robb , Construction Manager – Meritage Homes

I have worked with an array of stormwater management and erosion control contractors in my career, and DTEC is easily the best.

Ben West – CPESC, CISEC, CESSWI , Project Environmental – Coordinator Kiewit

DTEC has done an excellent job of taking care of our project BMP needs. From sales to field execution, DTEC does what they say they will do and they work very well with our field supervisors. Response time is reliable. Pricing is fair and consistent. Installation is high quality. I highly recommend them.
