Excavation, Transportation and Disposal

PSC has performed thousands of excavation, transportation and disposal projects throughout the U.S., ranging in scope from surgical excavation and removal of mercury contamination at remote manometer locations to the biotreatment of hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of soil at a former oilfield. While on-site treatment of contaminated soils is the preferred and most progressive approach, real estate transactions, regulatory orders or site logistics often dictate thorough cleanup of sites within a short timeframe.

Some soil excavation projects require vapor control measures which can include the application of vapor control foam, water, hydromulch, or poly sheeting. These projects can be performed with our personnel in Level B (supplied air) protection.

PSC is the preferred contractor of several energy companies. PSC’s experience includes:

		•	Surgical removal of contaminated soil near high-pressure gas lines in operating facilities
		•	Installation of temporary containment measures to prevent the spread of contamination to clean areas during the removal process
		•	PSC has also performed fast-paced projects at inactive and abandoned sites excavating, loading and transporting as much as 30,000 tons of impacted soil to a Subtitle D landfill for disposal.
