Not Just For Old
Bones
While many people think that the intricate act of excavation
is only for archeologists looking for old bones, it is actually one of the most
commonly used methods in
environmental
cleanup. In fact, excavation is a traditional method and companies have
been using it for years to deal with soil contamination.
Why would a company use excavation over more sophisticated
techniques for environmental remediation? Often, it can be the least evasive
way to recuperate from soil contamination. Excavation is generally applied in
residential areas that require as little trouble as possible for onsite
occupants.
Advantages of excavation cleanup:
Disadvantages of excavation cleanup:
-
Contaminants are only moved to a different place
-
Contaminants need to be monitored in new location
-
High risk of spreading contaminants through air and dust
particles
-
Higher cost
Excavation and the
Environment
While the main goal is to keep render the environment a safe
place to inhabit, sometimes excavation can get messy. Contaminated soil can
rise up into the air, polluting the atmosphere. Transporting contaminated soil
from one location to another can also be tricky.
Due to the high risks involved with
excavation, it is important to source
out a professional contracting company that has years of experience. Ontario
Stone Design offers professional excavation services and can provide an
informative consultation on how to best deal with your environmental issues.
Demolishing and
Digging
In addition to providing efficient excavation services,
Ontario Specialty Contracting offers top demolition services. Our team is fully
aware that demolition requires detailed planning and execution. In fact, all
things into consideration, demolition can require more planning than
construction.
Depending on whether you require full structural or
selective demolition, our contracting team will provide a thorough assessment
of your building, and fully explain the plan of execution.
There is a particular technique to
selective demolition that not all
companies are able to conduct efficiently. Ontario Specialty Contracting has the full equipment to successfully seal off parts
of buildings in order to protect them from damage and contamination. Often,
selective demolition is required due to mold or asbestos in used in certain
areas of a building. If the area being demolished is because of these reasons,
it is necessary to secure and seal the building properly, so as not to permit
toxic air particles to enter the rest of the structure.
Structural demolition requires a special technique as well.
It is not possible to simply throw a wrecking ball into a building anymore. All
excavation and demolition practices must be handled by experienced
professionals who are fully bonded and insured. Contact Ontario Specialty
