Decontamination
Decontamination and specialized cleaning
Rigorous, safe, and compliant environmental solutions
Decontamination is an essential step to protect the environment, public health, and regulatory compliance when managing contaminated soils, surfaces, or facilities. Whether dealing with an accidental spill, an industrial site, a worksite, or a rehabilitation project, a structured and compliant intervention is critical. At Sanivac, we offer specialized soil decontamination and environmental cleaning services, combining field expertise, high-performance equipment, and complete management of contaminated materials.
Soil decontamination
A targeted intervention to eliminate contaminants at the source
Soil decontamination aims to remove or treat soils affected by contaminants such as hydrocarbons, heavy metals, or other harmful substances. Sanivac operates in various contexts, including following spills, industrial activities, or during site redevelopment projects.
Using adapted methods, including hydro excavation and specialized pumping, we carry out controlled excavation of contaminated soils while limiting the spread of contaminants. The excavated soils are then handled according to their classification, ensuring management in compliance with environmental requirements.
