TRC World history

Doctor Bruno Zwolinski joined APIRP-44 and the MCA Project as Associate Director in 1958.

In 1961, Doctor Rossini left TRC to become Dean of the College of Science and Acting Head of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Notre Dame(link is external). TRC was relocated to Texas A&M University(link is external) as a part of the Chemistry Department.

Incorporated in Connecticut in 1969, TRC has spent half a century providing cutting edge professional services in the engineering and consulting realm.

1971: Travelers Research Corporation dissolves, with its engineering and technical consulting services arm reforming as TRC-The Research Corporation of New England.

In an effort to locate capital, TRC became a subsidiary of VAST, Inc., an oceanographic research firm, headquartered in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, until VAST went bankrupt in 1974.

Around 1975, TRC was moved from the Chemistry Department to the Texas Engineering Experiment Station in the Texas A&M University System.

The company, begun in 1976, had offices in Laramie, Wyoming; Albuquerque, New Mexico; El Paso, Texas; and Austin, Texas.

In 1979, Doctor Zwolinski resigned as Director and Doctor Kenneth.

1983: TRC becomes one of the few firms in the country to use mobile air testing equipment called the Trace Atmospheric Gas Analyzer, or TAGA.

In 1985, Doctor Kenneth N. Marsh became its fourth Director.

In 1986, Doctor Randolph C. Wilhoit designed and created an electronic database, "TRC SOURCE", for managing numerical values of thermodynamic, thermochemical and transport properties of pure compounds and mixtures extracted from the world's scientific literature.

In 1991, the TRC Industry Partnership was established to ensure the continuing development and distribution of critical data for both the petroleum and chemical industries.

In 1993, TRC paid $2.4 million to settle allegations that tests at toxic waste sites performed by a subsidiary, MetaTrace, for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and for the Defense Department were done improperly.

In 1994 TRC bought Irvine, California-based Environmental Solutions, Inc., the company's largest acquisition to date.

The economic problems plaguing other environmental services firms soon caught up to TRC. TRC had been a little too hasty in painting a rosy future in its 1995 annual report.

1996: TRC enters the global market by forming the first United States public-private partnership in Poland's history.

In 1997, longtime Chairman and CEO Vincent Rocco resigned along with TRC President Bruce Cowen.

A 1998 Wall Street Journal article called the project a 'radical experiment.' According to the article, the basic cleanup costs were between $10 million and $15 million, but the actual numbers had not been released.

In April 1999, TRC acquired New Jersey-based Vectre Corporation, expanding TRC's brownfields remediation work.

In September, 2000 TRC moved to Boulder, Colorado to rejoin the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where it is currently operated within the Physical and Chemical Properties Division.

In 2001 the TRC Data Entry Facility was established at NIST-Boulder with a goal to process up to 500,000 data points per year into the TRC Source database under strict data-quality guidelines.

In 2005 TRC, in cooperation with other leading experts in the field developed ThermoML — an XML-based IUPAC standard for thermodynamic data communication.
