What We Bring to Resolve Your Spill Site

 

People Who Show Up Ready to Work

Project Management

Our project managers are stationed across Alberta, so response times are fast no matter where you are. They coordinate everything—containment, excavation, hauling, reporting—so you're not stuck making ten phone calls trying to line up contractors while contamination spreads.

Environmental Professionals

Our environmental team arrives on-site, ready to assess your situation, develop the response strategy, and handle all regulatory paperwork. We know what the AER wants to see, what needs to be reported immediately, and how to keep you out of regulatory trouble.

 

Equipment That Gets the Job Done

Aerial/RTK Drone Services

Need to see how far the spill spread? Working in terrain you can't safely access on foot? Our RTK drones give you immediate, accurate site mapping and documentation. We can:

  • Map spill boundaries so you know exactly what you're dealing with
  • Document site conditions before, during, and after cleanup
  • Provide high-quality photos and data for your regulatory reports

Field Test Gear

Our field test equipment gives you immediate answers. We carry field-testing equipment to quickly assess contamination levels, determine spill extent, and make informed decisions on containment and cleanup strategies. Fast, accurate field data means faster response decisions.

Excavators & Heavy Equipment

Spills don't clean themselves up. You need to excavate contaminated soil, build containment berms, or create equipment access. Our excavators and operators mobilize quickly, so there’s no waiting around for a third-party contractor who might show up next week.

Waste Hauling

Contaminated soil must be transported to a legally permitted site with proper documentation. We handle the manifests, transportation, and disposal at approved facilities. No shortcuts. No surprises when the regulator asks for documentation months later.

Site Management 

Soil Management

We manage the entire soil management process.

  • Excavate and segregate contaminated soil
  • Sample and characterize material for disposal
  • Test post-cleanup soil to verify you actually hit cleanup standards
  • Bring in clean backfill material and place it properly

Traffic Control & Site Safety

Spills can happen around active lease roads, near operational facilities, or on public roadways. We set up proper traffic control to control access to contaminated areas and coordinate with local authorities when needed.

Regulatory Paperwork That Keeps You Compliant

Immediate Reporting

When a spill happens, the AER should be informed quickly. We handle:

  • Initial incident notifications within required timeframes
  • Detailed incident reports with all the documentation regulators expect
  • Updates as cleanup progresses

Spill Closure Reporting

We put together comprehensive submissions that include:

  • Complete incident timeline and response activities
  • Soil sampling results proving you met cleanup standards
  • Waste disposal documentation
  • Before, during, and after photos
  • Final site restoration details

Our team knows exactly what regulators want to see, so you're not getting kicked back for missing information or having to redo work.
