Land Reclamation Services

Once remediation is complete, we move into reclaiming the landscape. Our land reclamation services involve stabilizing and reshaping the terrain to prevent erosion, support vegetation growth, and match surrounding land features. We work to return sites to a natural, usable state—meeting land use guidelines and environmental certification.

Applications: Oilfield reclamation, road and bridge project closeouts, mining sites, environmental restoration projects.

Scope: Contouring, surface grading, re-vegetation, erosion control, surface material replacement.

Environmental Site Assessments (ESA)

Before any remediation or reclamation begins, we offer environmental site assessments (Phase I and Phase II) to determine contamination levels and restoration requirements. These evaluations form the foundation of our remediation plans and help ensure compliance from the start.

Scope: Soil and water testing, site history reviews, risk analysis, regulatory compliance mapping.

Our Reclamation Process

We follow a proven, step-by-step process to ensure every project is completed safely, efficiently, and in line with environmental best practices:

  1. Initial Site Assessment: We start with an in-depth review of the site, including current conditions, potential hazards, and historical usage.
  2. Environmental Testing & Analysis: Our team conducts soil and water testing to determine contamination levels and the scope of remediation.
  3. Reclamation Planning: A tailored action plan is created to treat or isolate contaminants and prepare for land reclamation.
  4. Site Reclamation Execution: We carry out decontamination work, including dirty dirt hauling, water treatment, and hazardous waste management.
  5. Reclamation & Restoration: We contour, stabilize, and reseed the site to promote natural regeneration and match surrounding terrain.
  6. Final Inspections & Reporting: Compliance with environmental regulations is verified, and all documentation is provided for closure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Land Remediation & Reclamation

Remediation refers to the process of removing or neutralizing pollutants and contaminants from soil or water. Reclamation comes after remediation and involves restoring the land to a usable or natural state, including regrading, erosion control, and re-vegetation.

The timeline varies depending on the size of the site, the type and extent of contamination, and environmental conditions. A small site might take a few weeks, while larger or more complex projects can take several months. 

Yes. Phase I and, if necessary, a Phase II ESA is essential to identify environmental risks, confirm contamination, and determine the appropriate remediation and reclamation strategy.

Soil is considered contaminated when it contains harmful levels of pollutants such as hydrocarbons, heavy metals, or chemicals that exceed provincial or federal environmental safety thresholds.

While full restoration is the goal, the level of restoration depends on site conditions and regulatory requirements. Our team works to achieve “equivalent land capability,” meaning the land can support similar uses to its original state.
