Asbestos

Tri-Phase offers comprehensive solutions for your asbestos removal and abatement project needs. We perform asbestos surveys, testing and sampling, as well as complete removal at all abatement levels and disposal of all materials containing asbestos. Our team is adept at handling various asbestos-containing materials, from fireproofing and mechanical insulation to tiles and roofing materials, ensuring thorough removal in compliance with regulations. Tri-Phase’s asbestos abatement services have been successfully carried out in a wide range of facilities and in sensitive areas, including healthcare, commercial, institutional and industrial settings. We have the required Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) Certificate of Approval to transport asbestos waste.

We are skilled at adapting to diverse site conditions, whether it involves working in confined spaces, managing challenging access, or addressing specific environmental concerns. This versatility allows us to implement effective abatement strategies tailored to each unique situation, maintaining the highest safety and quality standards throughout the process. We also provide renovation and restoration services to the remediated areas to complement our abatement services.

Lead and Mercury

Lead and mercury are some of the chemical agents that are prescribed as designated substances as per regulations. Mercury is highly persistent in the environment and has been shown to accumulate in the food chain. Elemental mercury and mercury compounds are toxic and are considered a hazardous waste. Accordingly, equipment containing mercury is required to be packaged, transported and disposed of properly as per applicable regulations. We have completed hundreds of projects involving clean up of mercury spills, as well as the removal and disposal of mercury-containing equipment and bulbs.

Lead is a heavy metal that has been widely in use for many years in many different products. Lead-based products can cause potential health hazards and are most commonly found in construction materials such as paints. These lead-based products must be monitored and controlled to ensure they are not disturbed. Tri-Phase has extensive experience providing lead abatement of various levels to different types of surfaces, sites and structures.

At Tri-Phase we make sure that your PCB waste is properly packaged and identified in accordance with all applicable regulatory agencies. We ensure that PCB waste is segregated, labeled and optimized in order to have a homogeneous waste stream. Over the years we have developed an expertise on a wide variety of PCB waste handling services such as in-situ dismantling of ASKAREL Transformer types and replacement and retrofit to accommodate buildings, tight spaces, site characterization and site decommissioning.

We have all the necessary training and MOECC permits required to perform all types of PCB handling work. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff has dealt with all types of PCB-containing materials and equipment including but not limited to transformers, capacitors, ballasts, soil, groundwater and assorted liquids and solids. We provide a full range of services for PCB management and cleanup, including project design, to acquiring all required approvals and permits, project management and implementation. Our combined field and disposal services enable us to remove not only transformers, but all high voltage electrical equipment. We decontaminate transformer vaults and manholes and have both the capability and resources to provide emergency spill response services and on-site water treatment.

Guano and Other Designated Substances

Bird droppings can pose a risk to human health as they may contain minimal amounts of lethal bacteria such as E. coli. Guano is typically found in commercial or industrial buildings where birds have had a chance to settle. At Tri-Phase we have completed several projects involving this type of clean-up and have the experience in methods of guano cleanup, handling and disposal. Tri-Phase has provided abatement and removal of other designated substances including but not limited to low level radioactive waste (LLRW), silica, radon and arsenic. With over 30 years of experience, you can rely on Tri-Phase to remediate any type of hazardous or designated substance.
