Company History

VertaseFLI

Vertase was founded in 2000 by a group of individuals from contracting and consulting within the contaminated land industry and are one of the longest established remediation contractors in the UK. The business was developed, initially within the South West and expanded year on year with both project size and scope of works until its eventual opening of a second office in Sheffield in 2004. The company continued its growth organically up to its eventual purchase by the FLI Group in 2005. With the size of projects expanding VertaseFLI made a decision to retain all the required skills in house to deliver enabling works, earthworks based remediation, landfill remediation and materials management, ex-situ and in-situ treatment. Over the years we have expanded our client base working for developers, housebuilders, manufacturing, industrial and petrochemical and public sectors.

VertaseFLI now encompasses groundwater remediation, contaminated land remediation, enabling works, demolition and site clearance, domestic and industrial oil spills and gas and VOC management as either discrete packages or projects or as a complete integrated solution.

Where We Are

The FLI Group continues its expansion and development both at home, in the UK and further afield in Europe. With offices in Waterford, France and the U.K. as their main bases, The Group work across the industrial and waste water engineering, remediation, enabling works and landfill construction sectors. One of our most recent acquisitions Precast Concrete Solutions – FLI Precast can work alongside VertaseFLI to deliver fully enabled sites to include attenuation tanks, drainage and foundations.

The Group

The Group was founded by its current Executive Chairman and majority shareholder, Michael Flynn.

FLI Global Limited sits at the top of the Group structure. Subsidiary companies VertaseFLI Limited, FLI Water Limited, FLI CAP Technology, FLI Adamelia and FLI Pre Cast Solutions are active respectively in contaminated land remediation, water & wastewater (municipal and industrial) and pre cast concrete solutions.

Our origins lie in the geosynthetics business providing engineered landfill lining solutions in Ireland, UK, throughout Europe and globally on a project basis. With this business activity, FLI grew and was able to make the investments that have transformed the company to where it is today. In the last 10 years we have acquired a number of complimentary environmental services businesses in the UK and France.

We continue to grow organically in our key sectors in the UK, Ireland and France.

A great set of people with a good attitude all around. The site was managed very professionally, I never had to intervene once on a H&S matter, which is very unusual!
