Our team adheres to the Ministry of the Environment standards, as well as traceability regulations.
Our services are offered in residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial settings. Each project is handled with rigor.
Safety remains a top priority, both for underground infrastructure and surrounding buildings.
When required, our team can also excavate beneath foundation footings to remove and replace contaminated soil.
Before selling your land or building on it, you must demonstrate that the soil meets environmental standards.
Untreated soil contamination is illegal and can compromise project feasibility and extend timelines.
It is also important to know that the sooner contamination is addressed, the simpler and more cost-effective the soil decontamination work will be.
Everything begins with a clear understanding of the site.
Before excavation begins, an environmental engineer must analyze the land, review the site’s history, and identify sources of contamination.
They then take soil samples and send them to a laboratory for analysis to detect contaminants. In some cases, groundwater is also tested.
Based on the results, soils are classified according to their level of contamination. Some soils are considered “clean,” while others have a low level of contamination that may be acceptable depending on the intended use of the land.
Highly contaminated soils must be removed and decontaminated or disposed of at authorized sites.
Class A soil is considered clean and can be used without restriction. Class AB represents an acceptable level of contamination for residential or institutional use.
BC category soils are contaminated but may still be used for certain commercial or industrial purposes. Categories C and above require significant corrective measures, sometimes including disposal at an authorized site.
Once the soil decontamination plan has been approved, the work can begin.
Excavation is carried out using high-performance equipment, mostly electric, which helps reduce noise and gas emissions. Our team can also excavate beneath building foundations.
Excavated soils are transported to specialized decontamination or disposal facilities. Some soils can be treated on-site (in situ) and reused for backfilling. Otherwise, they are replaced by our team with clean soil.
S.A.P. EXCAVATION also offers contaminated building demolition services and debris transportation.
Once the soil decontamination is complete, the site is restored. This includes grading, surface preparation, and, depending on your needs, paving or sod installation.
The goal is to deliver a site that is ready to be developed, sold, or built on, with no risk to health or the environment.
