The history of NELSON has been of earth moving, soil handling, construction, and agriculture since the 1960’s. Providing soil remediation via thermal desorption units (TDU) technology since 1994 via Nelson Environmental Remediation Ltd.

NELSON has extensive industry experience, processing more than 2,000,000 tonnes of contaminated soil on locations across more than 12 time zones (from Hawaii and throughout continental North America, to Europe and Africa) and, in conditions ranging from extremes Canadian Arctic winters at -50ºC, to the tropics at +40ºC. NELSON has treated soil contaminated with materials from light Bakken crude to heavy-end laden coal tar on soil varying from sandy to heavy clays.

As well as providing remediation of contaminated soil to beneficial re-use, NELSON provides full-service operations, performing excavation, soil handling, reclamation and other services. The Alberta business also specializes in large scale clean-ups, often remote, where the value of on-site liability elimination is realized at costs comparable to non-sustainable options such as off-site landfill disposal that simply defer liability.

The Thermal Desorption Unit process provides an on-site sustainable soil remediation technology that conserves the soil on site for beneficial re-use while eliminating transportation liabilities, delivered under a broad range of conditions.
