Excavation and soil management
Safe and compliant solutions through hydro excavation
Excavation and soil management represent major challenges in environmental projects, decontamination efforts, or emergency situations. Whether dealing with contaminated soils, accidental spills, or work requiring precise intervention near sensitive infrastructure, a controlled approach is essential. At Sanivac, we offer specialized hydro excavation and comprehensive soil management services, enabling non-destructive, safe, and compliant interventions that meet current environmental requirements.
Hydro Excavation
A precise and non-destructive method for sensitive soils
Hydro excavation uses high-pressure water combined with a powerful vacuum system to break up and remove soil in a controlled manner. This method is particularly well suited to situations where mechanical excavation poses risks, especially near pipelines, underground utilities, or in contaminated areas.
Thanks to hydro excavation, Sanivac can precisely excavate contaminated or unstable soils while minimizing risks to existing infrastructure, personnel, and the environment. This approach also helps limit the dispersion of contaminants during operations.

Our services include the management of soils resulting from :
- from decontamination projects,
- from environmental spills,
- from municipal or industrial work,
- from projects requiring controlled excavation.
This turnkey approach allows our clients to entrust the entire process to a single qualified provider.
Transport and disposal at authorized facilities
Regulatory compliance and environmental traceability
The disposal of excavated soils must be carried out at sites approved by environmental authorities. Sanivac ensures the transport of soils to authorized treatment, recovery, or disposal facilities, depending on their classification and level of contamination.
We ensure to :
- comply with municipal, provincial, and environmental regulations,
- ensure material traceability,
- provide the required documentation for projects and inspections.
