Decontamination AND Abatement
Proven to perform in the most challenging environments.
For challenging environments that demand total containment, minimal waste, safe operations and effective results.
Diverse Industries, Shared Goals, Common Challenges
Across every industry dealing with hazardous or challenging contaminants, the priorities and primary outcomes stay the same. Safe Operations, Hazard Containment, Effective Removal, Waste Reduction - Compliant and Contaminant Free Surfaces.
Whether it’s radiological waste in nuclear facilities, PCBs in industrial plants, lead paint in shipyards or asbestos in heritage buildings, these industries also share universal and persistent challenges.
Failure to manage these challenges and relying on inadequate methods can have serious consequences, from regulatory breaches to ineffective removal of contaminants.
-
Operatives face chemical; biological or radiological exposure risks making strict airborne containment essential to prevent inhalation or re-deposition. Techniques must be non-destructive to protect people and the surrounding environment.
-
Methods must fully remove contaminants without damaging substates, leaving residues or allowing contaminants to spread.
-
Strict UK legislation demands safe handling, tight containment and minimal secondary waste to prevent environmental release and ensure compliance.
-
Work can take place in confined, hard to access or high-risk areas such as tanks, ducts, pipelines, nuclear or flammable facilities, or sensitive areas that require safe and adaptable approaches. Techniques must precise, controlled and coordinated around live operations to limit disruption.
-
Finding methods that are effective and compliant can be challenging and most options struggle in these environments. Open blasting is difficult to contain, creates excessive airborne dust, spreads contamination, damages substrates and generates excessive amounts of costly and complex waste. Chemical stripping introduces toxic by-products and disposal burdens, whilst increasing exposure risks by being labour intensive.
