Got a Bold Idea? We’re Ready for It.
At 3M, a failed adhesive became the Post-it Note. At Google, side projects like Gmail and Google Maps were born from giving employees time to innovate. Now it’s our turn.
We’re launching AMP It Up – a new idea incubator designed to give Loureiro team members the space to think differently, solve real problems, and help shape what’s next. Whether you have great ideas or just want to help bring one to life, there’s a role for you. Find out why this new program will make a difference and how to get involved.
"Big goals take bold thinking, and this team is more than ready. I can’t wait to see your creativity turn into fresh ideas, new opportunities, and bold impact."

From Concept to Patent: Loureiro’s In Situ Solution for PFAS Contamination in Drinking Water Aquifers
June 19, 2025
Instead of treating water at the surface, why not treat it underground before it enters the well? That’s the core idea behind Loureiro’s in situ PFAS filtration system. The system works by injecting an adsorbent, commonly ultra-fine activated carbon into targeted zones of high PFAS flux in the aquifer, creating a permeable subsurface filter wall.

More About: Alex Sopelak
June 19, 2025
When Alexandra Sopelak needs a mental reset, she takes an “Excel break.” There’s something calming about the rows, columns, and numbers — the structure, the logic, the sense of control. “It’s where I go to decompress,” she says with a laugh.
That love of patterns, data, and problem-solving shows up everywhere in Alex’s work as a Senior Technical Associate at Loureiro.

Don't Waste Time Waiting: The Power of Design Build
June 17, 2025
When longtime client Uyemura USA—a manufacturer of specialty chemical products—began exploring a building addition in 2023, they weren’t sure where to start. They knew they needed space, but they weren’t sure how much or what exactly should go in it.
With a relationship spanning more than 20 years, Loureiro had supported Uyemura with environmental health and safety (EH&S) compliance, earning their trust through steady service and insight. So when the idea of an expansion surfaced, the conversation naturally shifted to “Can Loureiro help?”
MORE SAFETY
Safety in Layers - A Model from Missouri
June 6, 2025
When Corporate Health and Safety Manager Rob Belding traveled to Missouri earlier this year, it wasn’t to issue a checklist or audit findings. It was to observe, to learn, and, ultimately, to bring back ideas for how safety can be more than an outcome; it can be a design principle.
