George J. Igel & Co., Inc. has been instrumental as both a prime contractor and as a subcontractor in the development of wetland sites. Man-made wetlands aid in offsetting the environmental impact of development.

George J. Igel & Co., Inc. has performed wetland construction since 1988. Dr. William Mitsch of the Ohio State University and George J. Igel & Co., Inc. have partnered to build a working wetland and science building on The Ohio State University campus. The company has also built over 3,000 acres of wetlands on a design-assist basis.

The advent of stream mitigation has ventured Igel into creating "riffs, coreoffs, log jams, stilling basins and hilts" for environmentally friendly ditches.
